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.
