Description Today, it was a very hot, humid, almost suffocating summer day, at the end of which a serious thunderstorm rolled over the entire country. You could litterally see the storm front rolling overhead... it looked really weird, like a wall of clouds was quickly closing in and filling up the evening sky...

Ok, you'll never again hear me say that the sky in Holland is completely uninterresting

Soms vraag ik me toch echt af of ik niet te veel en te vaak achter dit ding zit...
Ik mis zo veel van "buiten"

Mijn mening is dat als je je alleen al afvraagt of iets zo is, dat het dan vaak ook zo is, dus hup, naar buiten jij! *por*
Mjah, ik zou ook veeeeel meer tijd buiten willen doorbrengen, gewoon lekker door de wereld trekken en alle bijzondere dingen fotograferen die ik tegenkom... maar ja, dat is voorlopig helaas een illusie zolang ik nog geen miljoenen in de loterij heb gewonnen om van rond te komen

Het is je gegund

En ja... mijn voornemen voor 2005 is
1) zoals elk jaar: stoppen met roken
2) zoals elk jaar: meer de deur uit!

Wow... fantastic shot! I came across this while searching for cloud pictures as reference for a painting I'm working on... this will fit beautifully (see sketch here, if you are interested [link] ) Beautiful colors... great work at capturing the eerie lighting!

Wow, thanks! This is the first time that someone uses one of my deviations for one of their own
I put a link to your work-in-progress piece in my deviation description; I'll keep a close eye on your progress; I can't wait to see the piece when it's finished

Cool! Thanks a lot! I hope I can do the clouds justice... haven't had much practice painting clouds. But this pic should help a lot.

Wow, that looks scary. O.o Looks like a hurricane rainband, being all curvy like that. Awesome pic ^_^ :+favs:

sturm In reply to GreyDazed [2004-09-19 22:16:33 +0000 UTC]

Well, it actually *was* somewhat scary, mainly because for most people (including me) it was the first time to ever witness such a cloud formation and such a storm. On the other hand, this storm was just a gentle breeze compared to the hurricanes that rage in the Carribean and Florida... so I'm not complaining

Thanks for the fav and for the comment

Hehehe, I'm glad it wasn't a tornado, otherwise, you wouldn't have caught me standing there on the balcony to take a picture But it *was* very weird, I've never seen weather like that ever before in my life... so I just *had* to take some pictures...

Well, with this storm, there was no serious damage at my place either, just the werid-looking clouds and a *LOT* of rain... but elsewhere in Holland, the storm caused some serious damage (but hey, you probably saw the news as well, so I'm not telling anything new )

Thanks for the comment, feel free to drop by again in the future

Yup, this one's really stunning!!
I had the luck to see the sky myself... but unfortunaltely no (working) camera at hand. Glad you were able to make some shots... this one really works.

Well, if you hadn't pointed it out, I'd probably have missed it entirely, since I was so busy with the photos from my photoshoot, so part of the credits go to you

Hehehe, if only you remember to remove the lens-cap, huh?
I already knew that there are enough nice things to shoot here in Holland, I just never thought the sky would be one of them

Well, when it suddently got very dark in my room, I more or less coincidentally looked outside, saw the sky, grabbed my camera, jumped on our balcony and started shooting until it started to rain

Which all happened really fast, within less than 5 minutes...
