Finally a shot in my usual style that im kinda happy with.

Took this earlier today at my favourite location, this of course being the pool at the end of our drive. You've seen it so many time but it always gives me new ideas each time i visit.

A few days ago i visited this spot and the weather was just right for a relfection shot, took a few but when i got back the sun was a bit too strong in some areas and most had a nasty bit of lens flare which was really annoying. So ive been waiting to go back there but sadly the weather has become a little more miserable, but today i decided to go have another go but with a different cloud cover. And so i returned with this.

A very strange blend of cloud formations and positioning. Almost as if they are parting to let the sun beam through. The one dots is in fact the sun but shrouded by a thick layer of grey cloud, dimming what glare it has. Lucky for me as there's no flare!
