A shot from my day at "Maglesų" I took a complete day off, away from home, friends and family. Me, my camera, a thermos and my hiking boots. This shot was taken in the middle of the afternoon. It had been a clear and sunny sky just 10 minutes before, but then the thunder clouds came rolling over the hills. A perfect setup created by nature, for me to capture and for us all to enjoy! (And for the interested - The specs: Olympus E-400, f/14mm; F/5,6; Shutter speed=1/1000 sec.; ISO/100; no tripod; Program (in camera)="M"; Focus= Manual; Coffee in thermos="Instant with sugar".)

Thank you all for your comments.
Luckily the clouds carried most of the rain over the forest to the left, and only stains fell on me.

With those clouds, on the pier is where I would want to be too and not in one of those boats. Wonderful shot - I wouldn't change a thing - except for maybe the instant coffee ;-)

Life isn't about the number of breaths you take, it's about the moments that take your breath away.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life, and my love for music and photography.
