Nothing remarkable before the storm

[Gianluca Drago]

Statue 1: "The storm’s coming, Joe."
Statue 2: "Nothing new, Bill. You should be used to it by now… just close your eyes."

I think you're confusing me with someone else, Gary. But thank you, really.

I don’t think he is. What magnificent lighting. I love the calm, expectant feel to the shot. Gorgeous.

This is a great shot.

I suppose it was just a matter of being in the right place at the right time (and a bit of composition). Thank you all for the kind words.

And seeing it: many people don’t.

Right place, right time, well seen!

that's ominous, stunning scene with the statues and the dark apocalyptic clouds.

Wonderful framing... the sweeping leading lines of moat and statues escort the eyes directly to the church ... again, simply wonderful. Additionally, the dark gray clouds are like broad strokes of gray paint obliterating any potential background distractions. Nicely done!

If one persists focusing on the cloud ... my take is the crisp images mirrored in the moat clearly reflect the old adage of "The calm before the storm."

Thank you so much, @Gary Ayala!
