Nature is so powerful...

Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. 

It takes you to a place within yourself.

Hi my friends,

thank you all for your kind comments to my wordless Sunday post!

This new picture above is about weather, stormy clouds and rain. I made the picture yesterday in the same park where my "Wordless Sunday" photograph was taken. I had two minutes only to shoot, the wind was picking up like crazy and it begun to rain. Weather can change very quick here in the rainy season - I love to feel the big rain drops on my skin!

I hope I could catch the pretty spooky atmosphere that always reigns before the storm and the rain set in. I love the weather like this!!

Have y'all a wonderful Wednesday.

See you later....

Pep up those gray walls at home, bring colors in to your life!

A BigThunderstorm Is Moving In

I promised you some days ago to show you more of those very dramatic thunderstorm clouds moving in over our heads, out of James Island.
A fantastic play of mother nature!

There were dark clouds out on the water...

and more dark clouds in the back...

and in between was the sun shining trough and made this dynamic scene

Big international traffic by the Ravanel bridge

Dolphins were swimming in groups in the bay area

A pretty place to sit down and relax, to watch and to enjoy nature

These five dogs needed a cool bath too on that hot
summer day late afternoon

Also friends found some time together to chat, watching the fishing pelicans and the boats going by. I love to enjoy afternoons like this!

Official Start of Hurrican Season was 1. of June

That was yesterday! We had a dark, windy and rainy start of Hurrican Season 2007. Later in the day the weather man was announcing this all as tropical storm "Barry". Today the sun is back again in paradise - and every one is happy - of course.

And this is a old picture I made a half hour befor Hurrican Dennies came over Key West, in 2005. You can see how some people really enjoyed the waves at Whitehead Pier - it's like getting a free shower.

A Rainy Day in Paradise

This is how it looks today in paradise. We have rain, strong wind and thunderstorms just now. Hoping strongly tomorrow we will have the sunshine back again!

So sieht es momentan gerade aus im "Paradies": es regnet Bindfaeden, begleitet mit starkem Gewitter. Optimistisch hoffen wir, morgen den warmen Sonnenschein wieder zu spueren.

At the end of the afternoon storm the sun came back out and painted the sky in a brilliant, burning red before she melted into the ocean.

Nach einem starken Nachmittagssturm kam die Sonne wieder zurueck aus ihrem Versteck und verfaerbte den ganzen Himmel ueber uns tiefrot, bevor sie dann im Meer versank.

It's gray and very windy today in "paradise"... that's why I put up this photo from 2 palmtrees at Higg's Beach in Key West. They match todays weather situation here the most, just now. We are waiting for the sun to come back again.

Das Bild der zwei sich im Wind wiegenden Palmen passt am Besten fuer die heutige Wettersituation im Paradies! Wir alle warten auf die Sonne....

This picture was made on the West Coast of Florida. After a big rain the sun came back with it's golden glow and this wonderful rainbow colored the whole area in a soft multicolored light.

Ich schenk dir einen Regenbogen... Nach einem starken Regen kam die Sonne zurueck, zog diesen herrlichen Regenbogen ueber die Landschaft und tuenchte damit die ganze Gegend in ein warmes goldenes Licht.
