Unquenchable Thirst, Canadian Prairie

From the ages, underneath lies that shattered earth, its mortal lair awakened from the life it once had, only to be swept by the unquenchable thirst of 21st century inheritors.

Excellent tonal work with the bonus of texture and narrative. Excellent work, George. Well thought-out composition.

Don't worry, George; the dark/black clouds will nourish the soil and the potential plant life that will spring from it. There's an additional benefit - lessening the the thirst of people like us who strive to produce b&w images as good as this one.
