Stormy night by maggiemae

Stormy night

Canada Day - they coped with the low cloud though the airshow was cancelled, people still flooded in to Parliament Hill for the celebrations. We watched from the safety of our apartment and a big TV.
Later there was a concert downtown but in our apartment there was a real party feel with so many young and trendy people enjoying.
The weather looked like this at 8pm

Three good things;
1 A wonderful day just observing.
2. Missed the fireworks - too late for us oldies but we were happy!
3. Son and family came in - don’t know if they enjoyed - most of these young people were single!
Such a stormy sky -- love the many shades and hues of blue !

it cleared for us enough here so that i was able to shoot the fireworks downtown from my apartment's balcony. but there was a band of cloud that the zoom didn't catch above the CN tower. now it's cloudy although there's a hazy sunshine. as this oldie tend to go to bed at midnight, i was able to watch and shoot the fireworks. i love that new watermark/signature. aces!

Interesting clouds. Did you get rain?

Wow that looks like storm clouds..................love the blue!

Beautiful color and stormy look to those clouds. Spectacular especially on black. Your new signature shows up well on this one although I noticed it on your portrait of your granddaughter the other day. What I didn't notice because it didn't show up as well was what's underneath your signature "the world to you". I like that
