Storm over the Black Hills, September 17, 2019

I keep meaning to go up Mount Coolidge, but too often the road is closed or some other reason blocks my way. This time, I was fortunate to photograph a storm as it rolled in from the distant hills and swept over me, with all the wind and rain I cared to get hit by. This is a straightforward view of the tree canopy off toward the mountains, with the clouds capping the scene. I'm not quite happy with the colors; it's a tad blue for my liking. Next round of editing will be to warm things up a bit, which should help.
That's better. A bit more neutral.
