Golden clouds sandwitched by orange clouds.  Shot from a running train.

Very nice clouds Akira! - not an everyday view to capture from a train :)

Thank you, Lars.  You cannot really hope for quality landscape images from the running train due to the non-optical glass and unavoidable motion blur.  But that day I couldn't help giving a try.

Good that you did! Speaking of motion blur .. sometimes you simply cannot avoid it  ;)

Good that the water was still yet the clouds were being blown about and all the debris in the air!  Rare you get the water so still.  In a gale...  ::) ::) ::)

Thanks Akira.

Busted! ... thanks Robert :-)

I shot this sky in the evening a few days ago - shortly before a thunderstorm.

A great scene, Brute.  The large, opaque watermark does diminish the pleasure of looking at the photo, however.

Nice one, Lars. Very special. I keep returning at it.

+1 with Pluton, Brute. I would put the watermark on the lower side of the bush, to make it less intrusive, but that's just me.

Sorry about the water mark.
Have had a few photos used by others without permission.
Did a little less crop and changed the shade of gray a bit on the watermark.
