We've had cloudy, rainy conditions for the last few days...I check the sunset time chart and walk outside and check the conditions in the late afternoon...I went out a couple of evenings back and got nothing...This cloud bank along the horizon worked well...be sure to spot the helicopter in the second photo...just as a side note, the camera I'm using numbers the photos as you go, at 9999 it starts over at 1, my camera has now done this five times, that means I'm at 60,000 exposures in about two and half years.
