The Approaching Storm

Just recently the family and I took a quick trip down to Key West where I thought I would do the typical thing of attending the Sunset Festival with the family. This was anything but typical. When we arrived there were plenty of clouds and bright blue sky to give me hope. I just knew it would be a great sunset. When you are waiting on something like the sun to set time seems to almost stand still. There is no rushing the sun....after all it was put into motion a long time ago and no matter our best efforts it still sets when it sets. Dark clouds began to roll in at a distance and I just knew it was going to "destroy" my idea of a sun set. I started clicking off a few shots and it was not long before I realized that nature was planning a not so typical ending to the day. Needless to say I had a great time with the family and a not so typical sunset photograph.

  1. You should go to the beach one afternoon, ignore the sunset, and watch the storms roll onto shore. I itched to get my paint (didn't have) to paint the clouds...but enjoyed the ocean water wave hopping instead.

    Atypical sunset, it is. Looks like mushroom cloud holding cotton candy. I like it!

  5. Awesome! That kind of brewing storm has a calming effect for some ironic reason.
