Title: Storms in Bavaria
Post by: KMRennie on June 25, 2016, 07:13:24 pm: From a couple of weeks ago. Almost every day contained a violent thunderstorm. I got quite good at knowing when to stop cycling and run and hide.

And when to take photographs, by the look of it. Great shots, particularly the second (though I agree with Rajan's nitpick).

Post by: francois on June 29, 2016, 04:11:49 am: My vote goes to #2 with #3 being not too far behind. The first image would also be superb but the vertical framing constrains the scene too much for my tastes. The second shot fixes that.
Anyway, well done!

Post by: Sean H on July 04, 2016, 01:24:05 pm: Ken, these are all fantastic pictures and thanks for sharing. I was in Germany a month ago when the flooding was occurring and I hope that it has stopped. All three pictures are amazing. I was scrolling down the first image and was struck by the beauty of the clouds. The top part of the photo with the clouds reminded me of shots taken by the Hubble telescope of parts of distant galaxies. I do not know the technical term for the space shots but perhaps the shots were of a nebula. At any rate, all three photos are full of drama and contrasting imagery. Because all three photos are so rich in composition, cropping is possible if you wished.
