Great shot!Grey skies can be sometimes beautiful.
Have a nice weekend!
Beautiful shot!
Have a great weekend.
I like the grey skies.
Greetings from Norway
These are agave plants in Mexico, from which tequila is made in Jalisco state . Some agave is good for sisal, at least on the Yucatan peninsula.
I like the way you have silhouetted the plants, changing their appearance! I am not so keen on the grey skies, though. Too many of them here, this time of year, and I crave the colour of blue skies!!
