I try to have some variety in where I got for my morning walks, sometimes exploring further afield, but one spot I often go if I have a busy day ahead and want to stay close to home and have a shorter walk, is the area along the coast from the Harbor walk up to East beach and Fort Tabor, and one building I see often is the Cisco breweries restaurant, and a little while back I had the idea to get shots of it from a similar view point on different days I visited there to show it in different light and conditions and that's how this post came to be

One one of my recent visits there it was lightly raining so I didn't get a walk in, but I noticed an occasional burst of lighting across the water, and I thought why not see if I could get a shot of lightning behind the restaurant for this series, so I walked to the spot and setup my camera on the tripod, saw a couple of flashes of lighting, but off at different angles and not behind the restaurant, and then the rain got heavier and the lightning closer so I retreated back to the car
So no I didn't get a cool shot with lightning, but I decided to play around in Lightroom and see if I could add some lightning and came up with this shot, I know it looks fake, so do not feel bad agreeing my my assessment
One thing I need to make time for is learning more of the features of photoshop, I really only use a small percentage of what it can do, I do have some Tutorials I want to work through, just need to find, well make the time to go through them and improve my editing skills

Each time I walk there the sky is different sometimes moody, sometimes warmer and a splash of color

And another visit and a more colorful sky, I have to be honest on the days with more colors of a beautiful sunset, I tend to stay on the coastline or beach and forget about this series I was working on

Another day with a dark moody sky and I thought a Mono edit added to that feeling
