Although this photograph could be misunderstood as a storm above an ocean with slow, rolling waves, it was actually taken in the plains of South Dakota. What could arguably be waves are small hills, and what could be mistaken for a ship is a grouping of trees and what appears to be a silo. The black and white effect on the image really accentuates the darkness in the clouds above, which are full of moisture, and ready release a downpour at any moment. If you look closely, you can see that the rains have already begun in the back of the image along with some lightning, so it’s only a matter of time until this photographer got wet himself.
