Photographer's Note
Another image I took from my office window using the cellphone. I put the lower part in B&W only.
In FG you will see part of a metallic tower, it was installed there by my father in 1969 when he bought our first TV. The tower was 20 meters high and it was necessary because there was only a tv canal in northern Paraná in those times, around 100 km far from home and in the other side of a mountain range. This antenna faced storms intact by 23 years but a tornado in 1992 broke it in three pieces, only this one remains in the same place and you can see the other third part ahead.

Mais uma foto que tirei da janela do meu escritório e usando meu celular.
Deixei a parte inferior da fotro em branco e preto apenas. Reparem nesse pedaço de torre metálica no primeiro plano. É a base da antena de tv que meu pai mandou instalar ali em 1969, quando adquirimos nossa primeira TV. Naquele tempo havia apenas um canal de TV no norte do PR e era necessário passar pela serra da Apucarana e captar o sinal a cem km de distância. A torre enfrentou e resistiu a todas as tempestades durante 23 anos até ser derrubada e partida em três partes durante o tornado de 1992. Hoje resta a base da torre e ao fundo vemos outra terça parte dela.

Hi Jorge
Looks like a threatening thunderstorm cloud. I like the tonal and textural details in the sky. Reasonable sharpness and the 3 communications towers make good focal points. Tfs!

Hello Jorge,
The heavy dark clouds look great and the B&W helps to show their shapes even better. You included the town very well in the foreground. Good clarity and I like the vertical composition.

Hello Jorge,
It's not a very charming view but the clouds are impressive and the photo is well balanced and well processed. It's only when looking closely that I notice that the antennas are red and that the clouds have their natural "colors".
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Jorge
Interesting tale under the menacing sky!
Love the title and the simple composition--It gathers meaning as one scrolls down, look at the antennas and sees above the beautiful clouds! A very well observed and captured image with just the right amount of detail I think this is more than just a record - meaningful and nostalgic. They still stand proudly and serviceable under such an extreme condition ......
Congrats
Best regards

Hello Jorge,
Interesting mixture of color an B&W. In fact there is very little color, just the towers.
