Storm watch

Hoping to get some sunset pictures last evening, I set out in search of open fields and farmland. Approaching storm clouds on the horizon quickly blotted out any chance of a sunset photo. So I switched to capturing the atmosphere of an approaching storm.

Standing at the corner of a barn, I glanced up and saw a structure standing resolute as the darkness approached.

    love the gradient of the sky, and the way the lines of the barn leads the viewer's eyes into the picture.

  4. neil, thanks! I enjoyed your photo blog as well. Discovered it at VFXY.

    alicia, thanks for noticing the lines. I did quite a bit of experimenting with the tilt of the camera to get the lines to where I liked them.

    v., as always, thanks for stopping by.
