Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

VIEW IT LARGE HERE

I took a drive this afternoon, because I was bored. Chasing some light. The sky was dismal to say the least.
I drove down to the lake and it was choppy and overcast, so I drove off, that’s when I noticed the change of light in the rear view mirror. The sun had finally broke through the thick cloud from the west, so I turned around and looked toward the jetty and the light was something else, I jumped out scrambling through my camera bag because I knew it wouldnt last.
I got it, it was only seconds after I took this shot that it was back to overcast. It pays to take a second glance :)

Too many techniques in photoshop to mention.

    It is fascinating how the clouds follow the contours of the railings. It is lovely.
