Stormy Weather





"If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm,
you'll never enjoy the sunshine."
Morris West


Morris West was an Australian novelist and playwright...
His best known works were The Devil's Advocate and The Shoes of the Fisherman.
I remember seeing The Devil's Advocate...the one with Al Pacino
playing the Devil...
and I vaguely remember seeing The Shoes of the Fisherman 
with Anthony Quinn...
Do you remember either of these???

  6. Hiker and Wayne have already pointed out what I love about this photo: the composition is like a mixture of the early days of cinematography and my wildest, most nostalgic dreams of the old west.

  7. Even the opposite is true - if you wait for the sun, you'll never enjoy the storm.

    Great shot!

  11. Amazing photo. The bottom third is complete in itself yet the additional sky adds so much more drama. Great quote too!

  12. This has a real Ansel Adams quality to it. Fantastic! I would love details of how you took it, e.g., filters, lens, camera, film or digital, etc.
