Maelstrom

Leica M9, 50 f/0.95 Noctilux, ~f/4, 1/180s, ISO 160, 5 panel stitch.

I am amazed each time I return to Alberta by the weather and in particular the cloud formations.  This image was taken in the backyard of my parents' house mid morning.  The swirls of the clouds were so pronounced that it immediately looked like flames to me.  I ran inside and grabbed my camera and captured this 5 panel stitch.  What was amazing was just how much of the sky was taken up by these interesting clouds.
