Seeing 2011 (#83)

For you consideration: a turbulent, invigorating, swiftly changing scene in the foothills approaching Fremont Peak.

The view is looking NE to SE, with the Pinnacles obscured (perhaps inundated) in the far left far distance. I was captivated by the dramatic contradiction of atmospherics, with the bright blue skies' participation in a supporting role.

I actually took a series of this scene, hand-held, for possible stitching into an extremely wide panorama; if I maintained the horizon line adequately — no mean feat given the inclination of the wide angle lens to induce edge distortion — I may post the results soon. Stay tuned . . .

San Benito County Storm, #2619
