On A Word In Your Ear , Skinnywench’s photo challenge this week is Cloud.
As I said in my first response to the challenge, I particularly remember two recent days on which a dramatic, constantly changing cloudscape absolutely dominated the scene. The first response showed the first day. Here is the second.
On Day 5 of our Long Island kayak circumnavigation last summer, we were approaching the eastern tip of Long Island when the clouds began to get interesting. The spectacular thunderstorm hit just as were rounding Montauk Point, the easternmost, most exposed point of our journey—
The full story of that day is here.

Spectacular – the last few remind me of N.C. Wyeth and Maxfield Parrish…
Yes, those colors, and the dynamically drifting clouds…
These clouds are stunning! I especially like shots four and seven, the color filtering through the grey skies is fantastic.
This was all happening at sunset, with the sun setting on one side and the full moon rising on the other, visible through the gaps in clouds…
yummie clouds Vlad!
Thank you!
in these moments, sitting in kayak with view like you had I’m laughing as people thinks “good that I stayed home, this stupid went paddling and he’s probably totally wet and cold” which is so far from the relaxing truth :)
We are always glad when we’ve actually gone under such conditions, and regret it when we’ve stayed home…
Beautiful… :-)
Thanks!
Fabulous pictures!
Thank you!
Wonderful shots. :)
Thank you so much!!
Beautiful :) how incredible is it to watch the sky change over the day :)
… and even minute to minute in a storm like that!
Fantastic views of glorious skies here – the Montauk pictures are good enough to eat!! A friend sent this and I think you guys will really enjoy it – a 1937 clip of the Manhattan waterfront!
A fun video (though not 1937, sadly)—thanks for posting it! Yes, tugs are fun. We see them around all the time. And there is our friend Tugster‘s blog, every day (mostly) about tugs. And of course the annual Great North River Tugboat Race & Competition! :-)
dramatic, stunning, visual, – lovely shots thank you sor sharing them Vladimir
Of course—thanks for the challenge!! :-)
love the 2nd shot, the one with the lighthouse..
The spot that was taken from was pretty much our furthest east point of the entire trip :-)
