Dramatic skies

For some reason, I've been playing with black and white lately. This is a view of the Cowichan Valley from the top of Mt. Tzouhalem in Duncan, BC.

Patience

The above shots were taken about 25 minutes apart from the exact same location, just with the tripod head moved slightly for the second shot. I was about to give up on getting any color in the sky and leave, but a call on my cell phone delayed my departure by a few minutes. After the call, I looked back and quickly set up the tripod again.
