Today something very different from my usual shots. No insect, no butterfly, no animal - just a beautiful cloud I saw some days ago.

We just had a terrible thunderstorm, with heavy rain and lots of wind, and when it was over the sky was clear and blue again. This was the last cloud in the sky. The sun was hiding behind it and I love how the sun-rays are shining all around the cloud. Nothing really exceptional, but still very beautiful to me.
I hope you will like it !

Hi Valerie,
Most interestin radiation of sunbeams! They can actually be observed, probably due to high humidity in the air...
A beautiful phenomenon depicted in this well framed image!
Greetings,
Pablo -

PS - Seems like you have dust on your CCD, 4 cm from top in the middle...

great capture, they show up really well here. - I spotted some yesterday, but didn't have my camera handy (well I was driving at the time anyway).

Great catch the sun behind the clouds.. In Holland we have an expression that says: behind the rain always comes the sun. I think this pictures visualize this expression

Valarie bonjour, bien vu ce shot avec les rayons du soleil derriére le gros nuage, ce sont "les jambes du soleil" nous dit on quand on est petit!! Bien belle lumiére et parfaites couleurs, Didier.

Hi Valerie,
Very beautiful and also very well captured. The rays are very well captured and I love the light in the clouds. Great idea to keep part of a tree in the photo for scale and depth. One really little nit pick, you got two dirt spots from your lens in the photo.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Valerie, It's a lovely shot. Great exposure and timing on this one, it's full of drama. Well done :)

Hello Valerie!
Great spectacle on sky! I love composition with clouds and rays of light. Looks like message from heaven. Similiar waether here - many hours of rain with some minutes of sun, but we all were waiting for rain so long!

Wow, thats amazing! I love cloud pictures, and this one is great - Im even jealous for not ever seeing such a phenomenon myself!
Nicely captured and good light control!

Well done!
Torbjørn

Great work with the light! Nice job on changing from one type of shot to another and composing a great shot. It might have been cool to include more of the tree silhouettes in the front to give the forground a little more life. Overall great shot though! TFS!
