Looks Like Holy Week

This is an edit of a particularly active sky, active with different visual elements. I chose to contrast the wispy high clouds with the solid rain cloud in the lower foreground. Thanks to my wife, Joy, for naming this photo.

Gray and Blue Sky

Something in the automatic settings of my photo editing software made the top part of my cloud picture turn gray.  I like to think that it is the darkness of the upper atmosphere.

Stencil Fun

I had to walk from the car after I parked to take photos of a newly stenciled sign at the entrance of a hospital parking lot.

With the help of Photoshop, I smoothed over the mistakes. I […]
