Nice color. I can almost feel the relief as the temperature starts to drop.

Many thanks, David. For me, this was a learning experience and near failure. It seems each lens / sensor has its limitations and most of the images came back with severe light spill over the highest contrast boundaries. It was a disappointment to find the lens, while still sharp wide open, appeared to diffuse extreme contrast boundaries into a narrow diffraction gradient that made it look like an old CRT with convergence problems at image center (not mirror slap or shake). This was the sharpest of the images, but as a Zeiss perfectionist, I still don't think it's up to par because the faint cloud details are soft. Some of those details were lost into the downpour of rain and the rest going from "RAW" to the dreaded jpg. These problems don't exist in daylight except for the latter.

In my humble opinion no artist has done "color" like good old Maxfield. The master of ambient color. I can just look at his work and am moved to feel something.

It was one of those times when there was no direction without some spectacular lighting effect. Traffic came to a stop along the distant highway while drivers exited to stand in awe and take pictures. Many thanks

Your wizardry with the language is amazing to me, and no army of emoticons
could stand before your beautiful words. I use them as 'cute' embellishments
every now and then, but the tongue is the music and you play it exquisitely.
My pleasure, kind sir.

Classic beauty. I reiterate, you're a damned lucky man to live in the area you do, and even luckier to have the talent to capture it all so well.

Kindest thanks, Ron. Mostly it is just that . . . Luck! But it stops at the casino doors
