Storms-a-Coming

[Zeph]

On the east side of GNP, a well photoed place of course, but always a must stop. Might have been better taken higher up to separate Goose Island from the distance shore, but then I'd lose the FG, nonetheless a beautiful place.
C&C of course

Saint Mary's Lake

Nice take on a very photogenic location. Looks like the wind was really whipping here.

 

[JimFox]

Yep, you certainly caught the feeling of a storm here Zeph! I like the foreground, so I think your lower perspective was a good choice.

Nice view of the lake - and the storm.

On the east side of the park I have learned to not fear the dark skies of storms approaching from the west as much as ones coming in from the north. The continental divide does a pretty good job of breaking up storms from the west but ones coming down from the north are usually an arctic express.

Good to know, thanks Alan...

You captured the essence of this nicely Zeph.

I can imagine that wind whipping in my face. Love the ray of light breaking through. Nicely done.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

I love the contrast of the rusty rocks and the green water n the foreground as well as the stormy sky, Zeph.

You know that little hook on the underside of tripods? I had my heavy backpack hooked to that because the wind was blowing so hard...
Thanks for commenting Guy...

The foreground certainly made the POV well worth it. I like the dynamic nature of the pic with the elements of the cloud, shaft of light and wave all contributing to telling the story. Nice scene, Zeph!

 

[Mike Mancil]

Ahhhh, I knew it was St. Mary's from the thumbnail. That green water, the crepuscular rays, the clouds, all perfect. Such a beautiful place.

 

[BarryHamilton]

Love that stormy mood! Nice!
