WPC: Descent

1. Wow – in the first shot, it looks like there is a great hole in the sky!
   I love the look of the sun bursting out of a break in the clouds.

   1. It was an extraordinary sight – as you can see to the left of the pictures the sky is bright blue, but from the horizon this huge bank of cloud was approaching – it rained, heavily about 15 mins later.

      1. There’s the trouble with dark, brooding skies. They have a nasty tendency to open up and dump their contents

2. Two very effective and powerful images here Jude. Well done indeed.
   Regards as always, Pete. x

   1. Hastings, last December – very dramatic sky!

3. Both d.i.v.i.n.e. ❤ ❤ 😮

   1. Thank you 🙂

4. Beautiful sky and I love the word crepuscular!

   1. It’s a lovely word isn’t it? Dramatic storm as we arrived in Hastings last Christmas time.

5. Ah, we must be “kindred’ spirits. My photo challenge post for “descent’ is a bit similar to yours, although we are in different locations…mine is land-locked, yours sea-bound. Lovely!

6. Gorgeous shots, Jude! I had to look uo the word “crepuscular’ as I hadn’t come across it before. They can’t teach you everything at Grammar school. 🙂

   1. Haha… also referred to as ‘Jesus rays’ – I’m sure you can see why 😀

      1. Absolutely. 🙂

      2. Or the fingers of god. Saw my most spectacular ones in northern Jordan 15 years ago. What is that tiny black thing riding the clouds in the second one? They are wonderful shots.

         1. The third one in fact!

         2. Gulls! And thanks 🙂

7. These are stunning shots! Breathtaking

   1. Thank you 🙂

8. I agree with Joanne it seems as though the light is exploding outward. Wonderful captures Jude.

   1. Thanks Sue – it was quite a sky. We’d just parked the car and as soon as I stepped out I had to grab a few shots of this, the light was incredible!

9. Ocean + Brooding Clouds + Shafts of Sunlight = Brilliance.

10. Beautiful photos. I especially like the bird in the final frame.

    1. Thanks Andrew, I’d like to say I stood there for hours waiting for that moment – but I didn’t. Just pure luck. But I do like the shape against the sky,
