threatening sky by sarah19

threatening sky

These clouds were full of snow (on Monday) at Nairn but at least it was calm. Today has been very windy - here in the north east we didn't get too much of the gales hitting further south.
I loved the way there was the tiny edge of the rainbow just at the sea line. And there's an oil rig - serviced in the Cromarty Firth close by - as well as a couple of boats.
It sure does look threatening. Great colors in this and I love the little bit of a rainbow look on the right side.

Very effective capture of the mixed weather. Yes here in the central belt the winds were fierce indeed!

A very dramatic sky. That bit of rainbow says it all.

The touch of a rainbow is so pretty. It does look like a snowstorm is coming....and we had high wind a few days ago!

Amazing how those boats & rigg stand out so well , the light on them is lovely !!!

Makes me glad to be on dry land - with a sky like that it must be rough out at sea!

@mittens @louisefrance @busylady Thanks
@barbsmith WOW Barb - Thank you for Fav!
@neeko This was taken at Nairn on the Moray Firth looking across to the Black Isle. I think it's an offshore oil service ship - there is so much oil related activity in the North East of Scotland! @mrssmith What would the world be without little bits of rainbows! @happypat Didn't actually notice the rig until I looked at the photo on computer. But we had been curious about it's lights at night looking across the firth. @lornareid @wordpixman @sunnygreenwood
Thank you all- quite overwhelmed at all the comments today!

Wonderful juxtaposition of weather! Light falling on the oil rig, rainbow on the horizon and nasty clouds full of winter white hanging overhead! Great catch!!

My that is a moody sky, and I'd hate to be on a boat out there. Utterly grim shot - it's smashing!

Yep, definitely looks threatening, and I see a hint of rainbow on the right
