Beautiful turbulent light, Robert. And I can recommend a Sinatra soundtrack.

  Thanks Richard! It was a My Bloody Valentine kind of day! Kind of explains the relaxed attitude to the shot, I guess. I actually haven’t heard much Sinatra, actually, unless you’re talking about Jr. For some weird reason. Gotta fix that.

Very nice! Good contrast. Where was this taken? Looks like a nice place to be.

  Thank you, Joylene. This was taken on the west coast of Florida in a place called Sims Park. There was supposed to be a location nearby, actually to the right of the photo, that would’ve been great for urbexing – but it turns out they’ve already re-modeled it and everything is neat and pretty already. Down here for the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival. I actually just finished it about seven hours ago, thus the new pic. Exhausted and my feet hurt, along with three cards worth of photos! Well worth it though! 🙂

    It’s beautiful. I have never been there but will try to see it this summer as I will be in Tampa and I don’t think it’s that far away! I think? 🙂 Again, great photo!

  Gracias, Manoli! Quería foto de un edificio abandonado que estaba a la derecha de la foto, pero fue reconstruido! Esta foto la tomé más tarde ese día, dando vueltas.

  Thank you, MDP! I thought so also, but it’s becoming a bad habit to get as many clouds in the shot as possible, haha. 🙂

Hello Robert, I’ve seen a lot of wonderful B&W shots in your blog! This one is amazing! It’s so difficult to manage the B&W in a landscape shot but you did it in a so effective way!

That sky is amazing! So dramatic. Bet it would have been much less interesting in colour.

  Thanks, and I agree. In color it just looked like it was missing something. Your photos & blog are great!

    Thanks Robert, I see you posted another fantastic sky in black and white. Awesome!
    Hey do you use any kind of a filter to get the sky looking so good? I remember years ago I had a yellow filter for use with black and white film and it was good for these kind of sky shots. I don’t suppose it works the same with digital though.
