The Southern California Sky

Updated on March 11, 2017

The cloudy sky above in So Cal can be quite alluring indeed. It is a pleasure to gaze upon, and even more enticing to photograph. So this photo gallery presentation focuses on the beauty that can be found in the Southern California sky after a rainstorm. What does the Southern California sky look like in the morning after the rain has cleared, but the clouds are still in the sky? It is filled with clouds that create a beautiful mood below. The clouds cast shadows over the palm trees and the ground below. During my walk, I captured verdant trees and shrubbery, and even a few wild sunflowers.

Now the sunset brings on a part of the day that cannot be beat with the majestic beauty of silhouettes, and all that things that become a treat. The sunsets after a rainstorm are always more intense, and more stunning!
