Bright Sun with a Dark Sky

Niagara Falls Blvd. Buffalo, NY

It is extremely windy today. I was outside trying to (unsuccessfully, by the way)capture shots of the wind's effect, so as we could see the wind. The sky got dark in the east but in the west the sun broke out as bright as could be and wham, the brilliant fall colors exploded. It was very unique, especially with the wind blowing so hard mixing the clouds and sun.

The red brick road shows up well here and the white bell tower is contrasted against the dark sky. Not bad for a city scene.

Olympus D-580Z

Maybe you didn't catch the wind, but you certainly got full value on the sun. Great picture.
