空はドラマティックだ！　町のシルエットも綺麗だ。　好きな一枚だ。

Stormy stuff! Great image of the sky/clouds Tetsu..cheers :)

Stunning! Very dramatic sky.

Love this wide angle shot. Powerful sky.

Beautiful sky - the silhouette makes the shot.

Thanks Evans!

teriffic ominous sky

Thanks Gary!!

Beautiful clouds!

Another amazing image Tetsu. Truly lovely clouds. Great silhouette really contrasts well against the clouds, harsh and soft.

thx for stopping by, and very cool b&w drama effect! was it really a stormy cloud or just part of the scene?

Thanks GeckoZ, Tobias and Photo Phil!!
Yes. Though it was a really stormy cloud, I use R1 filter to emphasis the contrast.

Beautiful and frightening at the same time : I love it :)

Storm coming ?

stunning!!

Awesome Shot !!
Do you also have a colour version of this and is it worth seeing?

Wow what a great sky shot it just teams with atmosphere and dark energy

Lovely!

Thanks Amande, Jasp, Samcam, Pikasso, Fantom Poet and Judith!!
I used a B/W film. So I have only B/W version.

Wow, Tetsu, this reminds me of so many walks through the Japanese landscape. Its not how the west want to imagine it, full of temples and people in kimonos.
For me it is filled with buildings and people and that sort of thing.
What is interesting is that in this picture, the nature has triumphed over man made structure. The sky has opened up in all of its glory, and technology seems so small, insignificant, as if we humans are ants.
It is also very moody, the weather. It doesnt take a lot of looking around recent world events to know the weather is more powerful than technology, and the kinda creepy feeling of that possibility is there in the clouds, waiting.
On the other hand, so is the sun, light and bright and happy.
For all these reasons, its a great photo for me.
Misete moraimashita wa arigatou gozaimashita.

i'm a sucker for beautiful skies so all i can say is ............beautiful.

very eerie sky, especially against the power lines.

Reminds me of many Rust Belt towns in the United States. Cloudy, bleak, industrial. The sky is full of portents!

what poetry clouds!!

Thanks Tereasa, Asiko, Slackie and Humin!!
I wanted to express the cloud which wraps up the town. As Tereasa wrote, a human being is powerless for nature....

Fabulous sky capture..very menacing!

Thanks Dave!!

Mouth gaping open. Wow.

Fantastic sky! The silhouetted buildings give it nice scale.

Thanks Glen!!

なんでしょう。この神聖な感じ・・・今度、栃木に行く機会があったら、杉並木も撮ってきてください。テツさんのアレンジで、スケールの大きな写真が見られる気がしてなりません。

yamaさん、ありがとうございます！！
次回は杉並木にチャレンジしてみます！

This is really one of the few B/W landscapes worthy, and it's very difficult to do B/W landscapes.

Thank you so much, Luisa!!
