"Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day." ~ Thomas Jefferson
Here is another early morning photo taken from behind my house. As you may have heard, tropical storm Ernesto did not turn out to be much of a storm, though we still have bands of wind and rain passing over the area until this evening. I had wished for a little more of a storm so I could stay home from work with my family today, but I suppose it is a good thing not to be slammed with a hurricane. Even after I took the time to put up my hurricane shutters. Oh well, it was good practice for the next time. ----- Thank you for your venusian comments on my last upload, The Calm .... Happy Hump Day everyone!

No point repeating the obvious here, but I will anyway -- stunning and a clasic. Also liked the spirit as reflected by the Jefferson quotation, so here's some verbal artistic payback both for your art and your attitudes. Hey, words are art too :) ____________________ "Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.

Stunning capture of these clouds..well done!
