Today's title phrase is from a bumper sticker I saw many years ago. I throw it out there whenever I have the opportunity, which isn't often, but I believe it with all of my heart.
You may have heard about the wind storm which blew across three towns north of here at 5:30 this morning, Webster, Waubay, and South Shore ... up to 110 miles per hour. I took this photo at 7:00 AM and it looks to me like it's the tail end of that Vicious Mama.
I'm not sure what I have here by way of capture. I saturated the color a bit, sharpened it, and softened the grain. I love the way the horizon meets land and how it developed a type of seam between the two. It almost looks like two photos spliced together. Abe Lincoln, my Photographer Idol and A Half, if you are out there checking my post today, does it really matter what I saw, shot, or enhanced ? And do you love it ?

Yeah, that's a formidable sky all right.
ReplyDeleteMy brother in Minneapolis got some nasty weather this morning as well - I would assume it was the same system.
ReplyDeleteScary stuff.
There is a real sense of turbulent, dark mood in this one!

ReplyDeleteYeah, I keep wondering when God, Jesus, and all the others are going to catch up with all of us... They're going to whoop some butt...

ReplyDeleteWow that picture is so beautiful. I want to transport myself into that photo with a blanket and nothing else and get lost in that sky.
ReplyDeleteI do love the photo. I also believe Jesus is coming back but I doubt that He is pissed. Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!

ReplyDeleteAbe Lincoln was here. I was locked out of my computer or my blog all day yesterday. Somebody or someone turned my blog in as a spam blog and blogger locked it down for 24 hours until a human being could check it and make sure it wasn't a spam blog. So I am only getting around this morning. My apologies.
ReplyDeleteAbout your picture...I don't see anything wrong with it. The first thing I did was click on it to see what it looked like in a larger size. That didn't work so I am looking at the size on the blog and it is hard for me to see what you say you did.
I like what I see.
Love the bumper sticker quote! Haha...yes, those storms rumbled through Minnesota also, winds were 100+ mph. That's crazy!
ReplyDeleteThat is certainly one mean looking Sky... but it makes a great sky watch picture..
ReplyDeleteForgive this part of my comment as this is done by Copy & Paste.. but with over 300 to visit and check I am sure you will understand...
May I thank you on behalf of the Sky Watch team for your post this week and for helping to make Sky Watch special.

This one impressed me realy, it seams to pose a threat to people living there. But I feel like aestheticise a painting from my favourite artist Emil Nolde.
