Very dramatic clouds. Almost frightening. I like the muted colours in here, the range from a muted orange to almost lila.

Matthias,

It's been too long my friend.

What a wonderful image! This is simply stunning, the exposure is flawless.

Keep in touch!

This is one of those photos that I think is beautiful and scary at the same time. I have seen too many of these clouds when I am out in nature with no place to take cover...and I just look up and say, "Oh, crap..."

Great shot though...clouds can be works of art unto themselves.

Hallo Matthias,
Tolles Wolkendbild mit wunderschoenen sanften Farben! Ich bin froh, dass Du dem Trend von "uebersaettigten" Farben widerstehst.

I can't imagine it either. I love cloudscapes. This is so dramatic and foreboding...nicely captured!

Beautiful!! Strong and intense, yet soft and dreamy! After waiting for Gustav to hit, I have watched the skyes more but didn't see any as nice and complex as this one!

Looks like a very dangerous cloud ;-)
