I love the way the clouds let the sunbeams shaft through to reach the ground and make the fields glow with a beautiful rich “billiard table” green. It is the clouds that make such a picture possible.
Thanks, Paul, for the sharing of your photo.

These guys are using big fat smoke canisters to make their ‘contrails’ so it’s not really a cloud picture… it is a nice shot, though
