Thunderstorm Passing


There were thunderstorms moving through here today late in the afternoon. On a drive down to Glen Cove, I thought I would put the camera in the back seat, and drive by the water, just to see what I would see. I headed down the steep hill overlooking the harbor, and was stopped in my tracks by this scene! The lighter parts of the water are the result of there not being a breeze in those areas - the dark areas are that way because they have small waves on their surface. It was the dramatic curves of light and dark that grabbed me. I jumped out of the car in a hurry, because it was starting to rain. I tried severel different compositions, and chose this one which was the tightest view of the scene.

  1. I love how all the boats look black. Very striking image, with the pink sky but the looming dark clouds. It's beautiful.
