Stormy Milky Way

[mountainjunkie]

A few captures from our July 4th camping trip to Lake Dillon in Colorado. The clouds obscured the milky way somewhat in a couple of them but the storm made up for it imo. C&C always welcome.

Going to try and post the embedded links from Flickr rather than my phone for once so bear with me anyone seeing these before I figure it out.

At the suggestion of my camping crew, tried a little "special effects":

Nice pics! #3 and #4 for me but I really liked the backlit clouds in the background on #1.

Agree with Kirk 3 & 4 are my favorites, The C for Colorado shot is a knockout!
