August 6, 2019; Vevey, Switzerland. I promised another shot from this dizzying, dazzling, drenching day and here it is. Looking south from Vevey, twenty-three minutes after the first shot posted on August 7, facing the same direction. As the weather speculators are fond of saying, “rapidly changing conditions.”

Quite a few pixels had their lives subtly but permanently altered on this one — all for a good cause.

Once again you’ve presented a happily minimalist coastscape.

  Maybe more like gloomily minimalist in this case but regardless, thank you.

You may not have to put up with the “rapidly changing conditions” in order to get a shot like this but it’s worth it.

  Thank you. You get wet, you dry off. So it goes.

The clouds look like fingers coming out to grip the sky and squeeze water out onto the sea.

black clouds heavy with rain are heading towards the island or the coast and I see them as an army preparing for the attack (very heavy storm)

  Fascinating. That made me think of JMW Turner’s “Ulysses Deriding Polyphemus.” Thank you very much for your comment. Take a look at my August 7 post to see what that scene looked like about 20 minutes earlier.
