Rain or Shine? by Dee Golden Sony S70

To the east a bright sunshiny day. From the west the rain is coming in. The sun was getting close to setting. A lot of gulls were flying around, I was lucky this single gull turned up when it did. It was very windy and a few minutes later it started raining.

I want to thank everyone for their comments. This is one photo I hesitated entering because it has to be seen larger than the thumbnail to be appreciated. I'm printing up some calendars for gifts and this photos will be one of twelve. Fifteen minutes later I had to cover up my camera and run for the car when the rain came down. A pretty rainbow full developed but didn't last long enough for a photo.

Beautiful and evocative. The gull makes the shot; without it you'ld have something beautiful but vacuous; with it, you have a focal point and perspective. Beautiful! 28.5 out of 30 on the Eric Scale!

Excellent Photo, Dee...a perfect shot! I think your storm came through our area the next day...wild stuff, but I sure didn't get anything as great as this pic. Awesome...RDavis

very nice shot Dee. Great contrasts from 1 side of the clouds to the other and the bird is a nice touch. - ZipperZ
