    Is this the work you were doing when I called the other day? Great job Mom, I agree with Maka1967 the clouds are dark and the light on the ground is warm. But I bet inside isn’t warm at all.

    Incredible shot! Love the dynamic of the clouds and the prison…like something bad is going to happen or has happened…which, with this being a prison is probably accurate ;) Really great capture!

    Technically wonderful work, Helen. The Midwest can be so depressing. The smaller towns have fallen on such hard time.
