The offshore clouds turn into storms this time of year. When the seas are calm the clouds can look amazing.

As I walked under the pier to the other side, I always enjoy looking at the columns and how they line up. The waves can be tricky sometimes..

It was a stormy Saturday morning as I got to the pier. The clouds looked threatening off the coast with lighting flashes in the distance. I setup to capture the cloudy, colors and the calm ocean before the rains came. The as the sun rose, the colors of the morning shown through the clouds creating some terrific glowing colors and scenic skies!
