[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Two days ago, at sunset time, in the late evening a giant dark cloud came over Milan west districts, with many wind, thunders, but no rain.
I went up on the common terrace at the 10th level; unfortunally the memory card of my new D40 is broken, so i used an old Nikon E4300, that have exposure problems.
The sky was fantastic, with dark clouds and some golden ones, thanks, to the sunset; the strong wind cleaned exactley the west lower side of the sky, to have a beautiful view over the Alps on the French border.

That image was took looking to South-East, with the sun on my back.

On the workshop 1 there is another view of the South-Western districts of Milan.

On the workshop 2 there is another view of the Western districts of Milan.

Bravo et bonne journée.
Amicalement

Hi Paolo,
It looks like a fire in the sky ... a fantastic capture. Good application of 'rule of thirds' here .... giving more space to your main subject ... well composed. Good colors and contrast ... the bird is a bonus. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Hi Paolo,
Very nice details in this gorgeous picture. I like the bird flying and the contrast between colours. Lovely colours and light
TFS and greetings

Bonjour Paolo
Titre bien choisi pour ce ciel aux couleurs étonnantes. L'oiseau ne va-t-il pas s'y bruler les ailes ?
C'est superbe - merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

alain

Ciao Paolo,

complimenti per aver catturato questo momento.
L'altro ieri c'è stata un'atmosfera quasi surreale per tutto il giorno con delle stranissime nuvole, verso l'ora del tramonto sono passato in auto da P.zza Castello e poi ho preso il Sempione, c'erano delle visioni incredibili con le nuvole scurissime e i palazzi illuminati da una luce molto calda e intensa. Nell'ultima parte del viaggio oltre alle belle nuvole che hai ottimamente rappresentato c'erano delle particolarissime sfumature molto vicine al viola.
Mi piangeva il cuore a non avere con me la digitale, ma era certo che avrei potuto contare su di te per immortalare quei momenti!

TFS!

Giorgio

Titolo appropriato per questo cielo impressionante , bravo.
Stefano.

Hi Paolo,

This is indeed an impressive sky with some wonderfull golden tones in contrast to the rest of the darkness. It's also nice to have the bird in the shot.

Best regards,
Paul.

how come you manage to take superb sunset pics all the time that are so much different than each other... yet another fantastic one... complimenti...

ciao paolo

Hello Paolo,

This is absolutely a very extraordinarily picture through the breathtaking clouds, exactly or the sky be on fire, or a big smoke cloud! Nice composition. TFS.

Nubi con colori fantastici Paolo, hai ben controllato la foto, complimenti, l'atmosfera è da brivido ma nello stesso tempo ammaliante, bravo.
Buona giornata

Hi Paolo,
you had good luck for burning sky, it is well captured. What I like is the line of roofs and the bird which gives life to this shot. Good work!

ciao thanks Georgios

Incredible effect on the sky, indeed, Paolo and nice to see the three shots for a better understanding of the phenomenon.
That inverted 'i' is so strangely beautiful that I wonder if you painted with pp... ;-) Love the atmosphere and good capture of the bird on this one.

Hello Paolo,
These type of cloud formations and bold sky colors don't come around very often. You did a great job of taking advantage of this opportunity. You are good with adding small but very beneficial details in your photos. I really ilke the black bird flying in the frame. Great work!

hi paopo
absolutely gorgeous,light , colours, a great view on Milano sky.
well done*
didier

That was some weather system Paolo! Coupled with the evening light you had perfect conditions for some dramatic images. I agree with your choice for main post for the light on the buildings and the bird in this one adds extra interest.
Kath

Great sky, I love the blue and the clouds. Good textures, light and sharpness.
Best wishes,
Achim

Bonjour Paolo
Moi aussi je surveille le ciel lorsqu'il y a beaucoup de nuages.
J'apprécie cette invasion nuageuse et ce mélange d'or et de gris.
Une composition très appréciable.
Ciao.

Hello Paolo,
I like this amazing sky, well seen the bird, well seen and composed.

Bonjour Paolo,
un ciel de tourmente, on ne sait pas très bien ce qu'il prépare. Est-il lourd ou pas ?
En tous cas, il sent bon l'orage.
Excellentes couleurs et contrastes dans ces nuages.
Bien à toi.
Daniel.

Excellent dramatic sky and special, before-the -storm light. I like the distant cityscape.

TFS,

Andreea

Ciao Paolo,
me gusta esta composición donde nos muestras la impresionante belleza de la naturaleza con estas enormes y amenazantes nubes, y la combinas con la obra del hombre, con las partes altas de los edificios de la gran ciudad. Ese contraste es muy gráfico, tiene mucha fuerza visual, me gusta.
Además, la luz y los colores que has conseguido son muy atractivos, los tonos cálidos anaranjados que la luz del sol crea en las nubes se mezclan con sus tonos gris plomo, y la paloma volando nos da un toque vital y dinámico, con mucho simbolismo. Fantástico trabajo!
Un saludo,
Josep

Hi Paolo,

Wow, there was a lot of gold in the sky that evening. You took it just the right moment with the last sun highlighting the buildings in the middle. Great shot although with your old camera.
CU, Erik

Un cielo tremendo!! sono dei mammatus...

You too have been chasing out the nice colours of the sunset. Here the goldish contrast against the dark cloud is simply wonderful. The composition really benefited with the bit of the city roofs. Well done.
Antonio

Well Paolo, you sure had some extraordinaire weather to observe this day. Impressive clouds and light - as a big fire is taking place up there. Interesting and higly original result.
