Seeking New Horizons
Another from the "promising" pile in the digital darkroom that I finally found the time to process.
"Devon Expressway" approaching Plymouth
Driving westwards down the A38... as an aside, calling it the "Devon Expressway" was far cheaper than turning it from an "A" road to a motorway—that's the way the powers that be think down this way sometimes! ..so, as I was saying, I was driving along, watching the sky "improve" as the weather worsened and threatened to get real bad.
It got good enough to deserve a stop and a capture, and I was lucky enough for a lay-by to turn up at the right time. I really liked the overpowering dark clouds in the middle distance, with beautiful skies beyond on the promising horizon. The progression of low, scudding clouds that seem to be sharing the same journey, adds to the overall feel of an exodus to the hope of new beginnings.
comments / critique / feedback always welcome :)

That sure is a huge sky Mark, looks like its wrapping itself around you.
Wow! That's quite frightening. I'm sure the makers of whatever car that is (Peugeot?) would quite like it for advertising...
Yes... Me too.
Love those ominous dark clouds, and the light in the distance -- beautiful!
Striking photo.
Two words..."picture perfect". What a beautiful photo!
the clouds sure do make this picture something special.
Glad you all liked it.. there's something about low clouds.. They're usually so distant from us, you know, just "up there", that when they come down to our level like these fluffy ones have, they seem to take on a life of their own. ...or maybe I'm just mad!
Great composed shot!

Mark such a great range of whites to blacks...that is what I notice most about your work. Very nice picture.
