Bleak Sea
A whirldwind and curtains of heavy rain.
The Mediterranean can suddenly become a dangerous place in summer too.
From my window.

Molto bella , Paolo ... non è raro trovarsi davanti ad una tromba marina , ma è raro catturarla come hai fatto tu. La conversione in bn con il cielo cupo, rende ancora più drammatico l'evento. Complimenti
Paolo Giudici  Grazie Beppe, troppo gentile.
Bello il tuo sito, c'è un'anziana signora che fuma il sigaro che mi aspetterei di ritrovare qui su 1x ...

Great atmosphere, there is a sense of stillness and impending disaster, but not here, where the sea is calm... Great photo!

amazing, was it scary? and thank you for your critique, best regards!
Paolo Giudici  Thank you Goia, no it was not scary, It was at about 3kms of distance, on the sea. We had another one in December in the evening and that came straight to my house and was really frightening!

I find this fascinating excellent capture Paolo. Pooch.
Paolo Giudici  Thank you very much Pooch, I was lucky to have this whirlwind in front of my window, but at at least 3 kms of distance!

What a frightening sight to see from your window... really a terrific capture, Paolo.
Paolo Giudici  Thank you Jennifer! Actually it was not so close, therefore less frightening than it appears here, but nevertheless I wanted it to stay on the sea and certainly not close to my window!
