This year the city is getting good dose of Nor’westers and as they cool us at least for a few hours, they draw some frightening yet beautiful paintings on sky too.
Nature painting on sky
We just cannot avoid admiring and at the same time getting afraid of the power of nature. We feel helpless, but cannot keep our eyes off the sky which looks like a canvas stretched far and wide for a wild water color.
Last Saturday I was having a late lunch when the wind started to pick up. On past few occasions I enjoyed the clouds from our rooftop. Those snaps could be seen here and here. This time I thought I would try our balcony. As we live on the second floor and most of the buildings around are 4 storeyed, there were quite a few obstacles, but anyway at least the view changed. Once again it was the camera on my Samsung Monte mobile. The wind was strong and my hands were shaking as I was trying hard to take some steady snaps.
Whatever I managed to achieve is below. The clouds were amazing and I just went on clicking. A mobile camera is nothing as far as photography is concerned, but it surely was enough to document a great sky.

An early evening
The clouds look like an angry old man … the wind God maybe 🙂
Oasis of light
Awesome pics! Theyre so dark and mystical!
Looks like some heavy rain is about to go down. The clouds are so dark!
I actually think you took really nice photos considering you were only using a mobile phone camera. The sky is beautiful but scary at the same time.
I’d probably get scared taking photos of it- but, awesome photos!!
I like seeing the clouds formation. The storm can be scary but the photos look really nice.
Such a beautiful shot. I can see God’s masterpiece.
I find it fascinating how many different pictures you can take of clouds from one spot, each of them looking different from the one that came before it. Love those images!
Great captures of the storm! I love cloud formations.
interesting read and i like that you labeled them individually. i need to play with my camera more and learn about it. i hate the photos my iPhone takes but i cannot imagine being without it. samsung really nails the pictures but its not an apple product so that is out for me. nice pictures.
Nice photos depicting a really great storm brewing!
