Hello Les

Love this. The "dangerous" sky and the consequently darkened foreground form a partial frame for the sunlit middle section. The tor and the trees are perfectly placed. BTW, it would be crap without the trees!

Regards

Will

Hello Leslie,
My first reaction was that the photo is heavily tilted :-). Of course it isn't, but the trees are. They have weathered many storms, all from the same direction, throughout the years. In windy places like this dark clouds can assemble very quickly. But before the rain starts the clouds look great in photos. The light is still superb.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Les
yes it always pays to keep an eye on the weather in the UK and especially here in this glorious wilderness. But when it creates a sky over a landscape like this it is all so worthwhile. Awesome!

Hi Leslie,

Such weather conditions doesn't occur often, where the light is illuminating a specific area of interest in the composition, while darkening the surrounding. Even better, the dark row of cloud in the foreground brings so much character to the scene, while "closing" the upper part of your frame.

This shot confirm that photography is all about capturing light... Very dramatic result.

Well done!

André

Hello Les - Now this shot sums up the vagaries of the English weather very well. One gets the feel of the fleeting nature of warm sunny days very well. Beautiful landscape work with a simplicity and realism that I like very much.

Warm regards

Hola Les

Wow what a weather with storming clouds, not good to enjoy Summer but great to create such views
Like the composition because of the trees, the focal point of the composition
Enjoy Summer

Hello Leslie, this reminds me that we ought to get out onto Dartmoor more than we do!
A lovely picture with an excellent depth of field.
The light and colours are so typical of the area.
I like the title, it still applies today!!Is summer returning?
Regards Jean.
