    Monochrome certainly does justice to the approaching bad weather.

    I got a real "Beaver Cleaver" feeling looking at this pic. The back and white took me back instantly in time. Like it, Thanks!

    What a fantastic shot! I have been to Lake Simcoe many times and you, my friend have captured one of those dark and stormy days. Very well done!

    Lake Simcoe is very large, right? In other words a storm brewing off the lake could be quite strong.

    Needless to say (but I will anyway), you came through with another super b&w shot. Lots of interest; great play of light and shadow.

    I love this, in black and white it looks like an even more fierce storm.

    I was just checking through your blogs and was wondering which EG river is home to the EG Hippo!!! (I knew it was the Toronto Zoo all anong!) Did you get the storm last Thursday? Quite a lot of damage near here, but not much in Stouffville, thank goodness.

    Those clouds look so familiar, and I can almost see the wind blowing.

    This photo was perfect in black and white. There is so much expression in it that would be lost in a color photo.

    You have caught the waves very well. That is not easy in monochrome at that angle. I feel the storm coming!

    I think B&W makes the storm even more threatening. Love it!

    Absolutely moody, true! And the sky looks so dramatic. It works pretty well in B&W. Hope the storm was not as fierce as the clouds were promising.
