Normandy Field and Clouds by

This photo was taken in Spring 2008. I waited about one year for nature to recreate this scene. The flowing clouds and dancing shadows were a wonderful contrast to the blue sky and earth tone.

The field overlooks the Channel, toward the island of Guernsey.

    very nice

  • Thank you.
    I waited one year to take this picture. Living in Normandie on the coast the weather is always changing, and the seasonal changes are breath taking. Once I saw the light and the clouds I ran to the field. It was worth the wait.

    this one honestly gives me goosebumps!!!!! Stunning and majestic sweep … the sky and clouds … the shadows … and the one tree right at the perfect, golden “thirds” spot!!!!!! WONDERFUL!!!!

  • Thank you so much, Lois! The inner voice, intuition showed me this image. To live in this picture is so magical that one can forget to take a picture, because it is feeling life. I’m glad I was able to capture it.
