A Word a Week Photo Challenge: Clouds

This is my first post relating to “Word of the Week”.  Clouds fascinate me.  If I see notable cloud formations I try to capture them in my images. This image was taken while on a whale watching trip on the Kaikoura coast of New Zealand’s South Island.  Although it was about 10.00 am it felt more like 8.00 am because of the lowish overhead cloud with the sun struggling to get through.  This created a more somber mood as the sun was reflected on the gentle swell.
