Spring at the Beach by taffy

Spring at the Beach

Thank you for putting my fiery sky shot onto PP today -- quite nice to see it there. This shot was from our meetup last week, taken at Wilmette Beach, north of Chicago. The clouds were quite amazing that day.
Lovely to wake up to this! What a beautiful beach this is and such a great memory of our visit! The sky was fantastic and you have captured it perfectly in your b&w conversion! Nit long and those boats will be out on the water! Beautiful atmospheric image! Fav!

From all the wonderful shots from your meet up I have to ask did you Chicagoians run them ragged or did they run you ragged. LOL One of the best collection of photos from a photo meet up.

Wonderful cloud formation and shot.

I don't know the correct terminology but the cloud cover accentuates the vanishing point - or the perspective to the horizon which for me is why this photo works so well. Another great one from your meet up.

Love the malevolent sky :)

Wow you can tell. great scene...the clouds look like a low lying ceiling... feels like you can touch them

This is just gorgeous! Not only were the clouds beautiful and lending so much interest to the sky, the water was shaded like the Caribbean! It was a spectacular, welcoming sight! (Just ask Sarah!)

The composition is perfect and this is stunning in B&W. This has that silver efex look that I love!
