This summer we have had more than a fair share of storms throughout Europe. This one however, was captured last summer in Italy. Thank you, Colline 🙂

I wanted to share the following pictures with you Paula. I had to keep a little of the blue in so that you could see the image properly. Hope it is okay:

It’s been raining here daily for a while now, so this hits a chord Paula, and so does the music.
Wouldn’t want to be in one of those small boats in a storm. Great shot.

No, absolutely not. I have been on a sailboat during storm once (for work); not an experience I would recommend 😀 And thank you Draco. I am glad you like the pic 🙂

Lovely combination of sound and image. Your photo captures the darkening and the build-up, the boats catching the last slivers of light.
Being Australian, I love rain and enjoy presages of it (if that’s a word!) I even went through a car wash for the pleasure of pelting water when I lived in Broken Hill.

Great idea to add a sound track to your post. Like the other Australian who commented here I love rain though it can get a bit dreary down here in the south at this time of the year. Here’s my contribution to your challenge – http://artifactsandfictions.com/2014/08/24/the-dragons-blood-tree/

I shot quite a few photos, but haven’t had the time to look through them or work on them yet. It’s always good to have something to work on for those times when you don’t shoot that much.

LOVE a bit of drama! And heaven knows I’ve seen my share of stormy skies this past couple of weeks, Paula. The music is spectacular for this wonderfully atmospheric shot. I’ve just hopped over from Scrapydo and I love her image too- though it couldn’t be more different. Have to have a look at the others. You’ll get me black and whiting it yet 🙂 🙂
