The dragon or the swan?

This was taken in Lisbon, Portugal. After a relaxed lunch I walked near the Tejo river on Parque das Nações. Very nice walk looking at the flowers, water, sky and people walking by. On my way back, watching the clouds, I saw this particular one. At first it seemed to me to be similar to a dragon. Taking the photo I was carefull enough to include some of the flowers the composed the scenario that attracted me in the first place. Back home, friends and family told me that it looks more like a swan. Dragon or swan it's a question of perspective. In the end it's whatever you want it to be.

Summer shower

It's was a partially cloudy warm August day. A little windy but not too much. I was walking through a green grass field near a coast. I remember looking at the sky a long time, don't know why. While looking I started to notice the cool effects of very dark clouds with the bright sun. I was amazed and taking pictures of it. Well, this one was the last before it started raining. Not your regular light summer rain here and there. No, this was the real thing. The "very wet" but warm version :) But I was loving it. It's great the sensation of being on the middle of warm rain :) It was near Corunã, in the north of Spain.

"Moonset"

I love to fly during sometimes of day. Especially when coming home :). With the right combination of clouds and sunset there are some special beautiful sights. Just stretch on your seat, put some of your favorite music on your mp3 and just look through the window and remember happy things. In my case I also grab the camera :) This one was shot during one of those flights. I wanted to capture the moon and the sunset at the same time but it simply wasn’t possible. So I stick with the easiest one. You can not catch them all so catch the ones you can.

Clouds over Frankfurt

While we were in circles around Frankfurt airport waiting for our turn to land, I saw this cloud scenario through the window. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera ready to take the photo for the few seconds I saw this. But I immediately realize that if we were in circles, in just a few more minutes I would see this again :) So I prepared the camera and waited. And this is the actual reward I got for waiting and having the necessary preparation time. Teaches one about the rewards of preparation and patience.
