As I’ve mentioned a few times, Australia can turn on the most amazing skies. We live not far from the sea but can weather-up from almost any direction, and when storms roll in they can range from the merely spectacular to the downright scary. I captured this frame in my front street, looking north-west on September 2nd, 2016 (one day after my first short story was published—what an ocean of water has gone under the bridge since then!) The palms add to the tropical feel—nothing is as exotic to a northerner born than the sight of great, fronded palms nodding in a breeze against dark and angry skies, with, nonetheless, sunshine in the foreground. The image is already very contrasty and the colours are true to the moment, so the only enhancement was a touch of sharpening. Fuji FinePix S5600, automatic. Image by Mike.
