This is the proof that bad weather can generate beautiful colors. I really like the different tints of green and blue of that picture. Well captured!

AlexMatos, on June 13, 2007, said:

I do agree with the different tons of colours a weather condition can provide, they are reaaly beautifull.

Thanks a lot

Cheers,

Alex

This is quite stunning. I love storms, and storms over water are particularly impressive. Very nice colors here!

Thanks a lot for ur comments. I do like storms and al lthe colours and effects they can show us. Cheers, Alex

NAGY Albert, on June 17, 2007, said:

Thank you again for your kind comments, Alex!

I can only join the others to say, that this photo is stunning. This storm looks dangerous. I wouldn´t like to be on the water there... :-)

AlexMatos, on June 18, 2007, said:

In a cruise ship wasnt so dangerous, it had also lots of lightnning, but i didnt manage to capture any, of course didnt had a tripod or so to do it the right way. Chhers Alex

NAGY Albert, on June 19, 2007, said:

Then I would say, the photo has a great effect. :-)

Very colourful and dramatic Alex. Cumulonimbus clouds add vertical drama to the otherwise flat sea. The smaller Cumulus clouds tint the sea in various shades of green, blue and grey. Layer type cloud add a sense of scale to mountains and emphasis their true size.

Excellent photo ! I'm a Corfiot, I live in Corfu as well and so I use to take photos in all seasons. Automn and winter are my favourite ones when you can take such pictures like that above. Corfu lays close to a mountainous part of the Balkan peninsula and a large "clear" part of the Meditteranean and this combination cause weather changes very frequently...

AlexMatos, on July 27, 2007, said:

Thanks a lot for your comments pandimis. You live in a beautifull place i can see. I did enjoy a lot what I visited from Greece.

I like a lot Weather conditions pictures, showing the strenght of Mother Earth. Like this one I took in a cruise ship while we were in the middle of the Adriatic.

Cheers

Nawitka, on September 6, 2007, said:

Great picture! Really expressive. When you see that coming, you put out another anchor and sit tight. If you are in a good anchorage, you can sit tight in a nice taverna.

AlexMatos, on September 6, 2007, said:

Thanks a lot Nawitka. You r ight sitted in a nice taverna, watching the storm...would be nice. I have more Weather conditions shots, if you like to have a look.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Alex! I'm just writing this message to inform you that a clear ( higher definition ) image of Corfu is available on Google Earth from today..

AlexMatos, on October 2, 2007, said:

Thanks a lot May, it was really coming on the way...and I got it all over before made into the ship.

Thanks a lot pandimis, for the info.

Cheers to both, Alex

♫ Swissmay, on October 3, 2007, said:

You must have gotten wet then, Alex! It looks fantastic, but also dangerous.

Greetings, May

AlexMatos, on October 3, 2007, said:

A little bit...nothing to worry about (actually I got into the ship soaked...:))

A new cruise ship can take this kind of storms, were nothing to worry about.

Cheers, Alex

I'm glad you directed me to your Greece pictures Alex.I haven't made it to the 'historical' ones yet but this one is so beautiful. I wish I had been there to see it. The color and drama are wonderful! Bruce

AlexMatos, on October 11, 2007, said:

Thanks a lot Bruce, this was a big storm coming up and we didn't made into the ship on time, so I got a litle wet...on the way. It was heavy and somewhat warm showers so did't mind a lot. Anyway in the ship everything were great even with the storm, only I couldn't catch all the lightinings.

I also have this one with some also nice weather condition tooked a couple of days later, at the Adriatic between Dubrovnik and Bari.

Cheers, Alex

Makes me wonder what it would be like to live next to the ocean like that...For a land-locked person like me, the endless dark water is awfully intimidating.

pandimis, on November 30, 2008, said:

It's not on an ocean-shore Sihvyl, it's just a gulf and a coastline is hidden beyond the clouds as well :)

Anyway, the picture is really wonderful !
