Pleasant Prairie Storm

Posted by Slackwater - don (spokane, United States) on 7 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

Day before yesterday while I was driving across the high country of Pleasant Prairie, these unusually dark clouds developed. I had to stop and get a shot with my point-and-shoot. We are in a spring time season of occasional snow storms that deposit a few inches that soon melt. The remarkable intensity of the blues has not been enhanced in PS.

an outstanding capture Don. Love those clouds and your composition really does enhance the clouds by including so much of that snow covered field in the foreground

The clouds look familiar, Don! We've had the same ones here, I'm afraid. I'm going to be driving through Spokane tomorrow. I'll wave as I go by. ;)

The low billowing clouds that overwhelm the house and trees make for a beautiful and dramatic landscape. Wonderful composition and mood!

Whew....such power in the clouds. We seem to be stuck with a clear white cloudless sky these days. I feel as if we have no color.

This is beautiful.
