A Storm At Southwold That Never Came

We just got back from a short car-trip to East England. Although I was hoping for sunshine, the weather was temperamental throughout, with heavy rain one moment, and bright sunshine the next. The forecast was for thunderstorms when we arrived at Southwold Pier. Dark clouds loomed over the skies when we arrived, but the storms predicted didn’t come fortunately. Instead, I was given the opportunity to squeeze off a few shots with dramatic lighting. CY initially thought that I photoshopped in the skies on this one, but they were dramatic enough even before I post-processed the final shot that you see above (see the orginal, unprocessed shot for comparison).
