The English language has no words that adequately describe the beauty that you captured.
Thank you, Clive, for sharing with us.

jim0004 , thanks so much for a fun challenge. I love that lighthouse (have only seen it once 'in person') and this brought back memories of our trip to St. Augustine (and surrounds)! You did make it a bit easier with such a dramatic sky. I'm honored to be included with Helen and Lillias in your top choices. With all the wonderful edits, I do NOT envy you the task of choosing. The sky was a 'right place; right time'-thing but it sure made a dramatic effect! Here are a few more photos of St. Augustine if you care to look. St. Augustine

It's only fitting that I include my rendition, so here it ... Nothing special as far as effects but normal lightening and darkening where appropriate. I tried to bring out the clouds while not rendering the darks excessively.

Thank you, everyone, for participating in this challenge. Selecting 3 was a little difficult but I have to go with, in no particular order, the following:
VickiD and her B/W version BillieJean with the canted frame Helen and the framed/matted version
I look forward to the next challenge that Helen presents!
