"The Dragon Cloud"

"The Dragon Cloud", originally uploaded by * Nina *.

Sometimes I come across something that just makes me say "Oh, my!"

First, there's the color palette of this shot - amazing tones and subtleties. If you draw your eyes to the top, which initially seems less interesting, you'll see a variety of colors and shades in the clouds. The richness of this visual experience is quite stunning.

And then there's the clouds themselves, which do indeed look like a dragon - in fact, this could easily be seen as the Worm Ouroborous - the world-spanning worm eating its own tail.

Stellar work, I think, both by nature and the photographer.
