What makes this cloudscape so unusual is the thrust of light that illuminates it. The clouds and the building at lower right have partially blocked the setting sun, creating diagonal slabs of light in the sky. These slabs fan out from behind the building and trees to illuminate the edges of the billowing cumulous clouds that explode over the city. It is the contrast of the light and clouds, framed by abstract buildings and leaves that stir both thought and emotion here. I used a 28mm lens to make the most of its expansive character.
