Photo of the day: Distant storm

Distant storm, a photo by The Bacher Family on Flickr.

The morning light on the beach was spectacular, and the massive clouds in the distance added dimension to the horizon. As we were enjoying the beach -- all to ourselves -- someone came roaring by in a pickup. I thought that such vehicles were banned on Oregon beaches, but there it was, marking up the pristine sand with its ugly tracks. After fuming about it for a minute, I decided to put it to good use drawing the eye into an image of the beach disappearing into the cloud-capped distance.
