Saturday Snapshot: The Sky at the End of the World


Well, it's really not the end of the world, unless you believe the whole Mayan calendar thingy. Which I don't. Not really. I guess we'll see.

This was the sky above a shopping plaza in Virginia Beach a few days before Christmas. The crowd did make me want to run and hide, so I just kept looking up. Nothing was adjusted on this, other than adding a border.

    The light and shadow make such an amazing contrast. I've taken a number of summer cloud pictures but I forget that the winter clouds can be quite beautiful as well.

    This is so very pretty - the light and dark contrast. Such a simple thing to look up and snap a photo. Why don't we do it more often?

    Lovely picture, though it is a little creepy! :D

    I guess we will see whether or not the world ends. Until then, I'll just carry on as normal, I think. :P

    Oh, that is lovely! The clouds almost look like a series of smoke trails filling the sky. I think this is a wonderful photo!
