The competition theme for June is ‘Dramatic Skies’

Sunset, sunrise, puffy clouds, stormy - anything where the sky is a major part of the image (I’m not going to be sniffy if there are other elements)

Good luck!

The photos taken must be your own work
The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.
The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for following month and judges it at the end of the month
Entries and discussion on a single thread, please.
All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
Winners should update the Competition Wiki (it's easy)
Photos entered can be as large as you like, although bear in mind if too large, it may not be possible to see the whole image on some screens. Links to larger versions are permissible.
If after 7 days of a competition ending, either a winner has not been declared, or the winner has not created a new thread, a new thread should be started, with the topic set as whatever the topic was 10 years ago, based on this wiki.

Hard to choose just one! But this was timely and the first to come to mind, so I'll throw it in the pot. smile

Additional drama added by the maintenance dude who managed to miss the road while parking. The whole time we were there they didn't manage to get him sorted. Legend has it to this day he's still there...

Some really nice photos this month.

Building Cb adds drama to any sky when flying. Taken a couple of summers back over SW Scotland running home under the clouds.

Well done everybody who entered, some genuinely fantastic shots this month and a good entry smile

I was going to do a 'highly commended' award but it seriously would have been almost every shot hehe Anyway here is my top 3 instead, in reverse order:

Third place - I'm a sucker for a good sunset and this was an absolute cracker! Well done Darren clap

Fairhaven 556 by djsmith46, on Flickr

Second place - great moody sky and hit the 'dramatic' brief bang on. Well done Fullook clap


And our winner is Ben with this incredible astro shot - absolutely love it bowbowbow
