Lickskillet was an old mining town in my part of the world that has long faded away. Some say it got its name because people were so poor; they licked the skillet to get every last drop of nourishment. It was situated next to Sally Mountain and was bordered by the Chariton River. I was deer hunting one day when the sky changed dramatically. This scene made thoughts of deer hunting go away. It is two shots combined.

I assume this goes into the contest Tick - it's a cracker and should do extremely well.

This is an impressive sky without doubt Tick. The combination of two such clouds makes this the right one for the contest.

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), you've provided us with a very fine contribution.
You've captured these crepuscular rays (aka Jesus Rays or Jacob's ladder) in combination with a threatening/dramatic that well, that I have S+F'ed this work instantly.
Thanks for sharing this beauty, 👍 !
PS: good luck with it in the Skies contest.

A very good contender for the contest! Funny, I thought the only Lickskillet was in Ohio.

Fine work Tick. Thanks for the narrative too. The things we know, have lived through and remember will all be lost if we do not share them.
