Ah yes, Cloud Week. I've posted a number of pictures of this harbor view, but something about the atmosphere over the water here makes for great cloud images. There was an interesting article in the Sunday NY Times last month by David Hajdu that said this part of the Hudson is not a typical river but a tidal estuary, and it can actually ebb and flow both upstream and downstream at the same time. Perhaps that's why the clouds are so intriguing here, and explains how storms only a couple miles uptown tend to threaten downtown but then blow over.

Stunning cloud patterns and golden evening light. The reflection on the water is just magical. Beautiful shot
ReplyDeleteLovely shot!! I love the pastel colors of the sun reflecting off the clouds. I would like to be able to repeat this in ribbonwork some how! :-) Debby
