Great photo, once again!

I'm not suprised we got the thunderstorms we did tonight, based on the 'hammerhead' growing in the photo.

Looks like the bird is running away from the cloud...

I just have to comment that the weather has been brutal here lately. I hope it actually does go down to 14 on the weekend like I heard forecast somewhere or other. Oh yeah, cool cloud. Cheers.

If it wasn't for the bird one could think that the photograph was rotated to the left. Very original and it comes with a nice title.

Posted by Susie at June 15, 2005 04:31 AM

nice and original shot Sam :)

Posted by DavidFF at June 15, 2005 04:35 AM

This is pretty magnificent, you make great composition look so easy.

Posted by Andysdad at June 15, 2005 04:37 AM

Yeeh i love it ! but i don't find that all the "cable" (wires) are necessary :/ just as the dark part on the right part of the picture.
Clouds are wonderful ! Do you often have those clouds in Toronto ?!

Posted by Pilou at June 15, 2005 06:30 AM

beautiful shot!the clouds looks great, the wirers are great and the bird adds a nice touch! all in all great photo :)

Posted by mikhail at June 15, 2005 06:30 AM

awesome, i love the clouds; they have such a "fluffy" feel to it!

Posted by Hitesh Sawlani at June 15, 2005 06:32 AM

Love the look of that cloud!

Posted by Ian at June 15, 2005 08:23 AM

what a beautiful cloud formation. the pic is very Brazil-flying-through-the-clouds-esque.

Posted by maria at June 15, 2005 09:22 AM

Looks cumulonimbus to me.

Posted by Ry at June 15, 2005 09:27 AM

really cool depth of field photo. the cloud formation is really interesting too. nice perspective.

Posted by Justin at June 15, 2005 09:40 AM

Wow! What a great capture. I really like clouds and this one is fantastic. Mixed with the shapes the lines make the silhouette and that well placed bird you have done very well.

Posted by Flo at June 15, 2005 10:52 AM

...wow. i love how the bird's between the wires, really gives it more of a sense of perspective. amazing.

Posted by tom at June 15, 2005 10:53 AM

"Looks like the bird is running away from the cloud..." But watch out for the wires, little birdy! ;-)

Way cool pic -- and different in style from most of what you've posted in the past. Thanks, Sam!

Posted by Phil at June 15, 2005 10:54 AM

you are the man

Posted by jesse at June 15, 2005 10:58 AM

Oh Sam, that is really, really beautiful. The lines, the light, the composition, the contrast......and gorgeous clouds. I love how birds always seem to fly into your viewfinder at just the right moment.

Thank you so much for sharing that one; it was just what I needed today.

Posted by Kathy at June 15, 2005 11:13 AM

hey sam, i really like the cloud definition in this. the blue fade from left to right is nice too. great photo.

visual narcotic hit.

Sam --
That photograph is just beautiful. Whereas the rest of the world just walks by unmindful of the environment surrounding them, you look up and manage to capture such fleeting works of art.

The wires are very very Toronto. And very necessary

Posted by Michael at June 15, 2005 12:23 PM

Stunning !

Posted by Steve at June 15, 2005 01:15 PM

I saw that cloud formation out of my window yesterday (parliament and dundas) and thought: that would make an amazing picture" and it did! nice work.

Posted by Dan at June 15, 2005 02:30 PM

efectivamente, one of your best. really powerful with all those lines and contrast

Posted by talendo at June 15, 2005 02:40 PM

Gorgeous!

Posted by Fiona at June 15, 2005 03:33 PM

Oh wow, Sam. This is gorgeous. And the bird -- just totally wow.

(PS, don't forget I need T's favorite colors) :)

Posted by myla at June 15, 2005 06:19 PM

i think i took a picture if this same cloud from here in milton with a 500mm lens. weird.

Posted by darren at June 15, 2005 07:14 PM

Good thing you took that photo.

I was looking at that formation when I was at Bloor and Runnymede on a patio, wondering about whether or not I should get my camera to snap it.

Laziness won the better part of me and I ordered another beer. :)

Posted by Chris at June 15, 2005 08:24 PM

Beautiful as usual, Sam.

Posted by Raffi at June 15, 2005 08:58 PM

that is one web of interference of wires and noise...too often experienced when we forget to take the time to really look at the beauty of such simplicity as clouds and birds and sky. this one speaks well for itself! thanks sam!!!

your site is one daily ritual for me that keeps me hooked and rarely disappointed.

Posted by dogstone at June 15, 2005 09:42 PM

That'a fabulous shot! And people say the kit lens is no good! I love the color of the clouds and the bird flying in the distance - its excellent!

Posted by Emily at June 15, 2005 09:57 PM

Perhaps the blackness in the right could be cropped?

Nice photograph!

Posted by thelearner at June 15, 2005 10:24 PM

I just saw this over at rooks.ca too. His take:

I was playing music in the street with a couple of friends when I saw this cloud behind downtown. I was hoping you would notice it, and you did! And took a marvelous photograph of it. Thank You.

It is a stunning shot, and I am glad you took the creative freedom to get out something unique out of the shot.

Posted by jacques at June 16, 2005 06:41 PM

Clever title and a really nice photo, Sam!

Posted by Abe at June 21, 2005 12:28 PM

amazing, as usual.

I've linked to your RSS feed on my site, with full props, of course.
