I was driving around on the German island Rügen in the Baltic Sea when I saw a rain shower in the distance.
I tried to capture both the power and the smallness of the rain shower by showing a lot of bright clouds and only a small part of the landscape.
I was taking pictures in Binz on the German island Rügen in the Baltic Sea when I saw dark clouds approaching rapidly.
I rushed to the beach and looked how to capture both these clouds and the 'silence before the storm".
There were still several seagulls walking in the shallow water near the beach and I quickly decided to combine the dark sky with one single seagull.
Then I had to wait until a seagull was at the perfect spot, but time was short.
A few minutes later it started to hail and I had to take shelter, but I had my picture!
