About OK!! Here where I live we seldom have any kind of dramatic skies. I'm always envious of the 'other places' that have all the wonderful skies, so different.

About an hour ago, my husband called me and told me to go look at the sky. I promptly grabbed the camera and went driving. This area is just down a few blocks away from where I live.

Yes, I did filter this to make it a bit more dramatic and also to darken the hills, since the horrible fires last October they aren't very pretty!!

On another note, I don't know if the site is SLOW or if it's AOL, I'm sure not getting to as many photos as I would like, it's just sooo SLOW!!!

arwa abdullah   {K:34425} 9/11/2004
remarkable clouds lori!!!! I can totally relate to what ur saying! No clouds = no drama u did really well its not just a regular cloud image, the way its composed reminds me of a volcano :)
7/7

Paul Lara   {K:78113} 9/11/2004
A beautiful cumulonimbus, Lori!
Great shot, girl. You don't have to be defensive about tweaking and filtering YOUR shot. It's YOUR art; do it till you're pleased with the final image, and how you got it there is irrelevant to the resultant art.

Nice!


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 9/11/2004
Hey Paul, THANKS!! :)


Debby Biri   {K:4741} 9/11/2004

Very dramatic sky, Lori! Looks like something we would have here! Glad you caught it.
Dave.


Sony Kusumo   {K:7052} 9/11/2004
Wonderful Lori, it's really worth the trip you know.... ;-). And yes, the hill is not pretty at all, but the glowing cloud is so wonderful.... Good catch my friend!


George Marks   {K:13699} 9/11/2004
Amazing. I saw this on my way home, but there were far too many visual interferences to get a good shot. I'm glad you were able to capture this beautiful thunderhead. Well done!!!


Amna Al Shamsi   {K:20822} 9/11/2004
I love clouds too and we do not get much here...beautiful natural view.


Maria Luisa Vial   {K:36017} 9/11/2004
Hi Lori... Beautiful clouds!!! Love the colors and the framing... Very well presented... Great dramatism... :)

Cheers,

Maria


Linn Currie   {K:24426} 9/11/2004
WOW! Did it bring rain and/or a storm?
Awesome cloud Lori - rolling masses of white, accentuating the dark hills. Fabulous blue sky. Well done girl, and thanks to hubby for pointing it out to you.

Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 9/11/2004

Totally amazing!

Exellent capture,Clarity and composition Lori.
Kind regards....Riny


Richard Thornton   {K:26442} 9/11/2004
Roiling, broiling clouds and the typical California hills . . . very pretty. To make up for the lack of clouds, you do have the surf! I'll trade you some good clouds for ocean access!


John Hatziemmanouil   {K:40580} 9/11/2004
Good shot, a nice ''heavy'' cloud Lori that looks impressive about its shape and size.


Stephen Bowden   {K:64516} 9/11/2004
Incredible bubbling sky Lori - wow it looks like it is about to explode !
The detail is absolutely awesome, you have done a fabulous job filtering :-)
Beautifully presented also with a wonderful frame.
I agree about the site, it is very slow commenting also !

Best wishes,
Steve

Simply wonderful 7+++++++++++++++++++++++++ :0)


Jorg Reif   {K:16020} 9/11/2004
I agree with you, the land doesnt look very pretty, but it is a goo story you tell, because i perceive the clouds= rain to be a relif for the tortured land. So the tension between the thursting land and the promise in the sky the eternal paradigm. Best regards Jorg


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 9/11/2004
Thank you Jorg...I really like how you expressed this, and it is 'RIGHT ON'
:) :)


Diana Wiersma   {K:26404} 9/11/2004
WOW Lori, you really captured a wonderful dramatic sky!!! Great colors too, I like the white against the fantastic BLUES!!! Very good framing, it accentuates the beauty of the view!
greetings,
Diana.


Romulo Lubachesky   {K:11836} 9/11/2004
Fantastic!


Guy Dube   {K:6932} 9/12/2004
Beautiful picture, the cloud is very impressive, very nice colors.
Regards


Neil Dolman   {K:26883} 9/12/2004
Hi Lori, what i like about this Lori really has nothing at all to do with the photographic merit at all, but with your ability to recognise and take pleasure in seeing something that for others might well be a perfectly normal, and every day occurrence! I hope and pray you may never lose that ability. Best wishes Neil


Lori Stitt   {K:74437} 9/12/2004
Hi Neil,
THANK YOU so much for your very thoughtful and nice comment/compliment. I appreciate it very much!
Have a GR8 day!
Lori :)
