Mangrove Magic

Here is one from the other night. I went out with a friend to Boca Chita, and island about 12 miles east of the mainland. These mangroves are the first thing a hurricane or storm might hit coming from the Atlantic. They are trying to grow straight into the coral and limestone rock and have been visibly stunted by these hardships.

The sky was almost clear and these clouds rolled in nicely. The lit up thunderhead gave some nice lightning in the distance later on.

I just re-calibrated to a higher ambient light to allow a brighter monitor, so I am uneasy about the newly processed stuff, but will say the sunset was on the left and a break in a wall of additional mangroves allowed the foreground to catch some sidelight.

Thanks for any comments/critiques,
Paul
