Cloud Cover

[Douglas McMann]

For the past 9 years, I've driven by this view twice each day, heading too and from work...

Every day it is different...and I've OFTEN stopped and taken a shot...

This coming Friday I retire, and will no longer pass this way with anything like the same regularity...

So please forgive my indulgence with this one, taken last week, at the end of a warm, muggy, thundery day...

A peaceful scene; wide open spaces; Was the vignette added?

 

[Douglas McMann]

Thanks John...

...yes the vignette was added...wanted to focus on the hill..

I have a 37mm Mir lens which vignettes all by itself, but it also flares horribly in bright conditions, so went with the nifty-fifty here..

Wow, nice shot Douglas

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Excellent Douglas. Nice to have a convenient spot. I have a spot I regularly pass and often stop over the year to see the changes. Always something different.

O and happy retirement

 

[Pete Askew]

Another fine shot, Dougie. And I'm looking forward to your retirement. Surely that must mean we'll get to enjoy even more pictures (once you've finished the decorating, the gardening, fixing those things around the house...)!

Very dramatic indeed
