Storm Watchers by pflaume

Storm Watchers

These light towers are located at our airport and provide guidance for incoming planes. I was driving by them during a brewing thunderstorm and was struck by the color contrast of red against the stormy skies. I was shooting across a highway and trying to avoid the foreground fence and other airport messiness so opted for a high perspective.
Amazing shot Lisa. The red against the stormy sky is quite striking.

What a great idea of have light tower in Red color, I hope our city designed think this way. Love it.

This is a real eye-grabber. The red against that ominous sky is just wonderful. It doesn't bother me in the least that we see just the tops of the towers.
