Nice, Russ, nice! Succumbing to the dark side (landscape photography, that is)?

[RSL]

I do all sorts of photography, Slobodan. Tomorrow I'm going to do formal portraits (headshots) for the Hawthorne at Leesburg Board of Directors and the Club Hawthorne Council. Collapsible background, shoot-through umbrella, fill flash and reflector, etc., etc. But street is my favorite thing. Don't get to do it often nowadays. I made the Pikes Peak shot in 2011.

That's a very nice landscape.
Expressive and moody, and not just "Here's what it looked like."

[Paulo Bizarro]

Great light and layers.

Ooh that's nice Russ.

I think you need to spend more time in the mountains

Thanks, Dave. I'd love to, but nowadays I'm confined to Florida.

[BernardLanguillier]

Very nice light play and capture!

There seems to be some texture in the lit up parts of the sky though, what is that?

Cheers,
Bernard

Those are called "clouds."

I don't really mean to pull your chain, Bernard, but I couldn't resist that one. I don't see what you're seeing. Maybe it's the haze, or maybe it's just old eyes.

Nope, it's definitely there. Almost as if shot thru a dusty window. Maybe a lenselement with residual whipemarks. Don't know, but he's right.

contrast exaggerated for illustrative purposes.

Thanks, Oscar. I see it now. That stuff is called "rain." Or to be more precise in this case: "precipitation."
