    An ocean view looking on the Miami skyline from the east. Groups of taller, late-afternoon clouds, tilting towards their direction of wind, italicized and colorful, dwarf the tallest buildings, which are reflected on the calm waters of the bay. A three second interval is used. The clouds’ lighter colors are Fawn to Lime Oak.

  • Morning towering cloud reflections on an ocean

    Scene notes:

    Morning ‘congestus’ clouds on a body of seawater that is a small bay enclosed by a highway in south Florida on the west coast, near Tampa. This scene takes place early in the day when tropical storms are likely to begin formation depending on humidity and temperature and are not riding on any predominant winds. Over the two large residential buildings, a larger congestus will turn into a rain-making Cumulonimbus later that day. The ocean takes up half the frame. Views in urban areas are limited to available public spaces.
