A recent cloud experience from a winter hike along the beach - cold, windy and very cloudy.
I like the 'square' composition here, Lars.  Are you still using the XE-1 as suggested in your signature? I still have mine as a spare, but acquired an XE-2s on sale.

Nice one, Massimo!  Clouds and dusk are often a great combination.

Nah, the combination of clouds and dawn is no slouch!

Akira - I agree - and as the British say "the early bird gets the worm";D

Nice colour combinations here.

Thank you, Hugh.  To tell the truth, I stayed up too long.   :o :o :o

LArs, the tone and grain of #553 is very pleasant.
Thanks Tristin - I often find it challenging to find the balance when processing cloud shots so I'm glad you like the result.

Thanks Keith - I'm glad you like the composition. I wondered if it might be somewhat static or lifeless but my eye sort of insisted on this framing. Yes, I'm still using my X-E1 on a regular basis but this shot was taken with my X-T1 - I found a used but good sample. I prefer the rangefinder style of the X-E1 and in some cases also the colour output from the X-E1 compared to the X-T1. I should probably have skipped the X-T1 and got an X-E3 instead but I was dissapointed that the X-E3 had no flip screen.

Apparently, superb is the word for your image.

Really special tone and colours, Akira.
