Afternoon Clouds
When traveling, I like to walk the streets of old cities and explore. I was in Valpriaso, Chile, and it was time for lunch. The place looked busy and it had outdoor seating overlooking the valley. Perfect. During most of the lunch the sky was a solid white cotton ball...not very pretty...bleak in fact. All of a sudden, the sky opened up and the cloud blob formed these rings that seemed to be stacked on top of each other.
Without leaving my table, without standing up, without setting up a tripod and doing all of the prep work that typically goes into a photograph, I snapped several shots. I really did not think I had anything special until I looked at the shot after returning home. It was a moment in time that I would have missed if we did not stop for lunch.
