Nice clouds.

Clyde Butcher calls his clouds "mountains".  They really add pop to many boring flat land Florida shots.  Adams had the advantage of being able to include real mountains.

Lovely, David.

Dutch landscapes? I grew up there, no such landscapes! Care to comment?

Thank you, Peter. So true.
I have a penchant for shooting very shallow land with large skies, Frans, and a friend here has dubbed them Dutch landscapes. I have visited Holland, rather The Netherlands, and it has its own kind of lovely; looking forward to my return.

Dutch landscapes?

A reference to a compositional style where the horizon is placed in the lower 1/5th of the scene, as opposed to a more standard 1/3rd.

Which is, of course, the usual way of depicting Dutch mountains.    ;)
