The sun melts away the dark clouds, revealing bright blue skies above the gloom. When it looks the bleakest, seek out the light.

Very well seen and photographed!! You have a nice strong foreground to balance the awesome sky; the pier takes you deep into the image; in fact, to the land across the water. Interestingly, the foreground, pier, land and back again creates a circle that keeps your attention in the scene. I’d also say that HDR was well applied to this. Final note, the white portion through the posts of the pier is a little distracting; so, a little burn here might improve an already wonderful shot. Cheers.
Stunning beauty!
I really think this is beautiful!
Gorgeous shot of the dramatic sky. Happy sky watching.
My sky.
Wonderful sky drama happening here! Love this water view! My kind of world!
Wonderful shot and the words are perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful sky… I like the processing on this!
Thank you for posting this wonderful image for Skywatch Friday. Lovely gray skies. The sun is just peeking through and adding that special lighting photographer’s always look for. You did good!

Tara. You can’t make me choose which I like more. Both are brilliant!
I never know what’s prettier, your words or the picture. Today..the words.
I am constantly seeking the light, looking for the bright spot in the dark.
Plus I really adored the name “patchwork skies”. It was whimsical.
A lovely capture, very calming.
Fantastic picture! I like the gangplank into the sea. Good composition!
