This huge Cumulonimbus over San Antonio, Texas, is a composite of two images taken using Fuji Velvia 35mm slide film and scanned into Photoshop. From my vantage point, the cloud was so big that I couldn’t fit it into one frame.
The rugged limbs of this Cypress and the gnarled trunk in the foreground give an indication of the many storms that have battered this beautiful coastline. This tree is one of my favorites along the 17 Mile Drive in Monterey, California.
