A dramatic sky and light over the Bristol quayside, cranes and buildings made this a 'no-brainer '

---

Almost a contra-jour approach with the tall cranes on the Bristol quays giving the impression of being guardian sentinels protecting the warehouses. The foreground provides us with details of the cobbled stones on the nearside quay with the mooring ring pick-out by the light. The choppy waters tells us that the weather is changeable and hints of the storm to come.
