I like this one very much - the clouds corresponding in form with the cacti. And the colours are great, the rainbow give the last touch to it. Feels surreal.
Thank you Martina! I scrambled the moment this sky scene opened up. This scene is roughly 50 miles from the Nuevo Laredo - Laredo Texas border, the South Texas Brush Country. This scene was the tail end of a hot and dry summer and this thunderhead was one of the first rain events after many weeks of absolutely hot and dry conditions. Once this cloud worked over my position, the ground became saturated and driving my truck off the ranch required serious 4x4 manipulation to safely clear myself back out to the main highway. Many get stuck out there in the mud for several days if they don't run out before the ground becomes completely saturated. I never drive down there without a lot of provisions just in case I get stuck.....I never know what's in store.
I live in the western region of the Edwards Plateau, deep in the Texas Hill Country. I'm an avid outdoorsman spending a large portion of my time "out there" roaming the wide open spaces. Much of my photography is simply an extension of a very active outdoor lifestyle.
The challenges posed with closing the distance, pursuing wildlife photography, is an absolute hoot for me! The experience out there alone is everything to me. If I capture pixels along the way , it's icing on the cake.

ReplyDeleteIt's not only a surreal photo but also a surreal life you have - to me at last, ;-). Very interesting, thank you for your explanation!
