Nor'west dawn, Wanaka

Generally a clear indication to stay out of the mountains.

Mid January 2010; dawn promised bad weather but it didn't arrive — at least not that day.

    I think of "King Lear" and Led Zeppelin's "Fool in the Rain" ...

    Zhoen, Barbara: thanks. The early start provided this nice reward.

    Love the contrast in distance/mass.

    the immensity of the clouds contrasting with the distant mountains that we know are massive. Great contrast.

    Do you print any of your pics?

    Cheers
    Christopher.

    Christopher, thanks. I do print photos from time to time, although the expense and the problems with colour management (few of the local photo printers use proper colour management systems) mean I do it only rarely. This one, I suspect, would be particularly tricky.

    oks - try PCL in Auckland. Most of the professional digital people go to them.

    Their web is pcl.co.nz

    Cheers,
    Christopher.

    Amazing color. Do I thank you for it or do I pay homage to nature?!! (I thank you for capturing it and posting the photo.)

    T. Clear: homage to nature is fine with me. Thanks for appreciating the photo, though :^)

    Bad weather, but beautiful colours. Love the purples. I could look at a sky like that for hours.

    Michael, the catch is that skies like that seldom last more than a few minutes. The colours change moment by moment.

Constructive criticism is welcomed (I particularly appreciate thoughts on what you like and don't like), but please keep it courteous.
