So I took the long drive to Tobermory, ON last night. I was annoyed, at first, because there seemed to be many more clouds than I had expected.

I haven't retouched these photos yet. That will be a real learning experience. I feel they are contaminated with a lot of 'noise'. I'm actually not even sure where to begin with either. I use gimp, as I am on linux.
