Brooding sky

I rode out on my bike, east of town, along the Lougheed Highway
and at this spot the road runs parallel to a small river - the Nikomen.
The day was variable - a bit of sun and a bit of rain and the sky to the north
was much like this all the way. At the halfway point (25mi) I get to stop at the
Sasquatch Inn for a bowl of hot soup, a hamburger and a coffee. Great day!

My attempt an action-SP photo along the road and my high cholesterol reward shown below! :o)

I'm sure hoping you made it back home without getting drenched. Such contrasts betewen the grey clouds, shadows, mountains and grassy treed lawns. Awesome Cliff.

Moody and dramatic. Very well done.

Cliff, this is an awesome photograph. Voted.

Nothing better than a ride in beautiful country, lunch in a great spot and pictures to capture the day. Great!

Great dark cloud formation and soft light in the foreground!

This is so gorgous. I love how the sun shines to the trees in the left corner and how those very dark clouds are ready to hover over the entire landscape. Great lighting and color play here.

Beautiful, beautiful landscape. I'll give it a vote because of the nice story and bonus photos.
However, that cheeseburger probably totally negates whatever cardio you got out of the bike ride!

does not look to good there, hope you made it back dry

lovely picture!
Guest 15-Apr-2005 16:54
Great light but what really makes it for me is the 'layered' composition - foliage foreground, water, trees, hills, sky, cloud. Lovely.

Truly magical mushrooms, Cliff. I nice use of the fries with the coffee.
René Gysi15-Apr-2005 16:03
Wonderful atmosphere and light. Very nice.
Gary Hebert15-Apr-2005 15:39
Wonderful contrast of storm feel and light Cliff.
Guest 15-Apr-2005 15:33
Despite a day like that, the lighting is fantastic! You ate that all???!?!?
Faye White15-Apr-2005 14:47
lovely! the lighting is magical.

Sounds a successful day out - Appropriate to shoot that river with a Nikon!
