This one taken at Chasewater Staffordshire UK. The power of the sun through the clouds with the pylon and powerlines, in silhouette.

Silver on the water and gold in the sky! Nice!
The light from above is leaving some very beautiful beams as it trails downward. Very nice image, MaryB. Hope your time "away" is good.

Those rays make the photo. You've done well here for an image with such highlights and shadows. Enjoy your weekend and bring us back something to see!

The sun's rays really lift the image to another dimension. Have a lovely weekend. BTW, I'm just curious - what's that floating in the water?

@aggie: Thank you aggie for your visit and your kind comments :) The lake here at Chasewater is used for boating and waterskiing, the two dark objects floating are ramps used for the ski jumps :)
Very nice shot Mary! The silhouette is great and I love how it divides the picture.

i love clouds; they have an amazingly grand "grazing" personality, especially the lazy cottony cumulous that just come and sit around all day. skysheep. sunbeams are a superbly dramatic thing as well-- difficult, i think, to catch; mix the two together, clouds, sunbeams and contrasty water-- and even then you might not have the lighting down. but this photo: wow! right place at the right time with the right eye and camera. fantastic!
