Storm's a coming! Storm's a coming! was often the refrain I heard often in all the western movies I remember seeing, as the cowboy flew by in his horse warning every one of the dangerous conditions that the weather was bringing!

First of all I have commend you on your wonderful self preservation methods, since you state above that you first posted this back in the early 1800 hundred's, your secrets to mortality are well kept my friend. If you ever decide to share them, I am willing to listen carefully! "LOL" I also want to complement you on the fantastic old, old camera you used from this time period of long ago...the colors in it are amazing, of course you had it colorized since only Black and White cameras existed at the time.

OK Mark! Thank's for putting up with my sense of humor regarding this well shot photo...I am just in a Halloween type of mood and having a little fun with the comments you left above my friend! :-) Personally I think you did an amazing job on the photo and I consider you a brave man for standing outside in this bad weather. The bright yellow haze is well complemented with the dark grey's of the clouds and you are so right to say...if you see weather like this, it's time to get on that horse and ride the hell out of Dodge! (for most it will probably mean going indoors and turning off their computers to avoid an approaching power outage) Take care and be well my friend and once again, thank you so much for all the wonderful comments you left concerning my work. :-)

1800's? man time flies my friend. a most cool and awesome moody capture Mark. that cloud cover looks dangerous. love your work allot and thanks for your blessings for my dear mother.

From the early 1800s? Well, I must say, we all are doing really well for our ages. :) The mood of this is impressive; those thick black clouds hovering over the bright yellow skyline is scary. Hey! Who ever is in charge of the weather? The sky is supposed to be blue, ya hear, me? BLUE! You were brave for standing out there when this sky was hovering over your near future, Mark... bravo! I like that you concentrated your photo on the clouds with very little horizon... what a dramatic photo this is!

Well, Mark, just how old are you? 1800's? All kidding aside, great capture of this truly ominous scene...Those clouds are so low, it looks a though one could actually touch them. Did the weather prove to be as terrible as this capture indicates?

Here in Kansas, when we see a sky like this, or better yet, a green one! We grab the vidio camera and settle in for some exciting Weather!!
Tornado sirens are the signal to gather on the lawn for the show!
I love a stormy sky!

Yep. You nailed it... You see this sky in this part of the country, it's time to head for the basement. Ugh...

This is a perfect image for the season, Mark. It gives me the willies.... I've seen a few skies like this in the KC area. Not many lately though, with all the climate change..

I like the dusty scent that comes right before a storm, followed by the chill air. That's how you know it's going to be a good storm. Of course, good storm is a matter of perspective. It's not good if your house ends up a half mile from where it started.

A very fine trip back in time to an unspecified event! Were there any survivors to this apocalypse? Obviously! Thus this photo! A most dramatic capture and fascinating result of the atmospherics! Many fine praises for this display from me to you!!!!!

In Vain: Threatening, light yellow, drowning that calls for help in vain, everything goes down and then on black. The earth keeps in her breath, tension in the air, submerged and flee in vain. ;-)

very sinister and reminds me of squall lines. usually common around Texas and can produce tornadoes, hail, and heavy rain
