Gorgeous Piet, absolutely beautiful. The silhouette of that cool tree with the silver-lined clouds in background makes for one fantastic shot.

I agree with tennessecowgirl.. my thoughts exactly. It is so deceiving as this doesn't look like a storm but more of a sunset in sepia tones. Outstanding!! With the palm tree in the scenery one would almost think they were on a tropical island. ~Michelle~

The tree looks like an anomaly contrasted against the background clouds and light in this marvelous photo, Piet. Maybe because it is the lone vertical object depicted in the scene.
