Cloud Blanket


Well-defined, easily discernible foreground, middle ground, background.
Rows of clouds full of condensation, tendrils of rain.
Sometimes the skies thicken with a bank of clouds so thick, you can feel the air pressing down on you. A week or so ago just such a phenomenon occurred, and it was spectacular: row upon row, and layer upon layer of differently colored clouds, creating the perfect photographic composition of an easily seen, well-defined foreground, middle ground, and background. It's the kind of set up you have to wait for, and then snap it when you see it. You just can't force Mother Nature. She rolls in on her own time, homies!

Banks upon banks of thick clouds.
