Afternoon stormclouds are starting to build over Alturas Lake, located north of Sun Valley, Idaho. The sky was so vivid and clear. What a beautiful place!

Wonderful capture! It's like a tease, though, for the true grandeur of the area.

we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking up at the stars

Beautiful place, beautiful shot - did you use a polarising filter?

That’s an impressive landscape. I too think you must have used a polarising filter. Its beautiful.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross

Actually, I used Photoshop. 1. Switch to Quickmask mode (Q Key). 2. Select the gradient tool, and use the foreground color to transparent gradient. 3. Apply the gradient to the sky portion of the photograph. 4. Switch out of Quickmask mode (Q Key again). 5. Use Image->Adjustments->Levels dialog to adjust the sky so it looks like you've used a polarizing filter. Neat trick, huh?

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings: And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill. That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes. We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not. Yet so the universe was wrought . Thought is another name for fate. Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.

Looks like I missed another one of yours when I went thru your gallery. To heck with the mountains; to heck with the hills; to heck with the water. It's those clouds baby. How grand and exquititly captured. But then, we would expect that from you, wouldn't we. Thks for posting. It's another one for my collection.
