Description Just one, of the many pictures I took while I was away visiting my mother last week. A bright sunburst filtered by the clouds, that creates that ever-amazing "Heaven's Light" effect that I love so much

I touched up the photo a little bit in photoshop, but I like trying to keep my pictures as natural and raw-looking as possible, without too much color and light exaggeration. I hope you enjoy!

Why thank you! I like this one too

I'm doing alright, busy as usual (Who isn't nowadays? ) But no matter what, somehow, exhaustingly, still finding some measly time for art. It helps to keep me sane from real life, anyway!

"God Rays" always look so cool! Great sense of contrast in this pic, I took some similar as I just got home from a short road trip

I find them most vivid either during early morning, or right after a storm. They look even MORE cool if it's somewhere over the desert…
You should post it! I'd love to see it Thank you!

As much as I dislike clouds, they can look very pretty, especially when backlit. 'Every cloud has a silver lining' they say! Did you get any storms while there?

Oh, I don't mind cloudy days…except for in winter, where it's continually cloudy about 90% of the time for about five months…
But storm clouds? Oh yes! Especially when a storm ends at dusk and the sun shows up about an hour before nightfall…which, to answer your question, yes I did! (This tidbit was a recalled example of such). We got a pretty bad one actually, to where it knocked out the power for about half a day, and fried a transformer to where we had no hot water for ANOTHER full day, and then our fridge broke down on top of that for yet, another day….adventure awaits everywhere I go, apparently!

lol such wondrous excitement! I personally like storms best at night, when they light up the whole sky in a spectacular fashion. I could watch them for hours!
