Stormy Spring

[JimFox]

Well, in this case Spring was actually in August since the wildflowers were so delayed in Colorado. This is in Yankee Boy Basin and the afternoon thunderstorms were so delightful and full of energy.

I love it when the cloudy start looking angry like this. The flowers and mountains are really nice but its the atmospherics that make this shot.

The clouds in this are amazing! Try b&w to emphasize them?

Thanks so much Alan! Yeah those clouds were crazy looking!

Thanks Monika. Yeah, B&W might be a great option since the wildflowers in this one are on the minimal side. The best wildflowers were all looking the other direction, so this was the best I could do from here.

The clouds look like their are hand painted or someone had fun with the liquify tool.

Lovely image.

Ha ha, yeah, I don't know what they are called but I know they are kind of rare clouds. So I really felt awesome being able to see them and captured them.

they're called mammatus clouds. i've only seen them a few times and never as prominent as this. they're crazy looking, but usually only come after a storm has passed. great capture of the clouds, not only did you get to see them but you got an excellent photo is an amazing place of them.
