coming or going

These clouds over Ocracoke, off the coast of North Carolina, seemed at

once ominous and alluring and coming and going - an oddly beautiful

display. Comments and critique appreciated.

Probably better seen with larger view.

this is what we find so alluring of the ocean- the vastness of both sea and sky and the marvels of nature displayed in both. Thanks for bringing that feeling back!

Greg & Verena,

Yes, the vastness is nearly spiritual.  Once at a very down point in my life, a friend shoved me into her car and drove me to a beach at Marble Head, Mass and left me there with a bottle of wine and some cheese and crackers.  I was healed.

Wayne,

  Breathtaking scene with powerful POV & dramatic sky.  Take care, Patsy

Beautiful scene, Wayne.  Very dramatic presentation of the clouds that night.  I particularly like the contrast from the very dark of the lower right and the upward diagonal to the upper left.  One thought - did you consider a horizontal flip?  IMHO that might suit my eye better.  In any case, very nice work...

Hi Wayne

Really enjoying this series of cloud photographs. Each unique but very beautiful. Hope there are more to come.

Tony

Wayne, that sounds like a prescription that more doc's should employ!

Stunninng.

Patsy,

Many thanks.  I am all into clouds when I am on the outer banks.

Jerry,

Many thanks.  Do you mean did I consider a vertical flip?

Antony,

Many thanks for visiting and the kind comments.  I have a few more maybe worth sharing.

Becky,

Many thanks. 

The sky is an incredible mosaic of color, tonalities, and - yes - textures.  It's almost as if the sky is serving as a guardian of the sea and the shoreline, given the fact that it appears to be quite low.

Michael,

Many thanks for take the time with this image.
