End of a storm

I have a lot more music rattling around in my brain that quotes, so I'll go there at least for the time being. The song is "You'll never walk alone" and the quote is "...at the end of a storm is a golden sky and the sweet silver song of a lark..." Both of those were true on this afternoon as I drove down to the Yellowstone river to catch the sunset, only to be caught in a small thunderstorm that cleared about 20 minutes before sunset. There were even meadowlarks singing as I shot the clearing storm and the sunset. (5D3, 24-70 f2.8 @ 54mm, 1/4s, f/10, iso 200, tripod and cable release)

Mark: Marvelous scene. I especially like the sky and would be sorely tempted to crop away a significant portion of the bottom of the frame to give the sky more emphasis. I really envy you the experience. >=))>

Beautiful shot Mark! I love the sky - the colors and clouds are quite dramatic. The reverse C curve in the clouds on the right frames the clouds nicely and somewhat mirrors the shape of the water.
