| The Caucasus Mts, Black Sea: Taken in the late afternoon on 2 March 2003, this wide-angle view (28 mm lens focal length) shows the snow-capped range stretching left to right across the view. The Black Sea is the dark blue surface lower left and the Caspian Sea a similar smooth surface top right. Dominating the whole view are clouds in lines sweeping around a mid-latitude winter storm. The cloud pattern gives a strong sense of air movement. The storm, whose center lies outside the picture to the left, is drawing in air from the south (bottom of the view), over the Caucasus range and then sweeping west (left). A flat deck of stratus cloud lies beneath these cloud lines on the north side of the range. |
