    I agree Ric
    This would look great at 13x19....Laughing.gif I like how the blue water offsets the clouds & mountain range. Nice.

    Lake Champlain is an interesting lake, weather and conditions can change quickly. Nice shot. I spent 4 years in Plattsburgh, NY, USAF, could write books on weather alone, beautiful area.
    Have a great day!

    why would you want better weather? The clouds give the sky texture, and make the whole thing really impressive.

    Of course, sunny days are fun, but I'm a programmer-- they daystar does burn us, precious, yes.

    I like the rough weather. Gives more drama to the landscape. Nice capture Ric!
