Thank you for the votes last week. I'm glad many of you liked it, because I definitely loved the photo myself. My first reaction was 'Top Gear look!! Finally!!' because I always wanted to create that scene we see in Top Gear a lot of the clouds having a good amount of contrast and having that desaturated blue look to it.
The most difficult part of this photo was resisting the temptation to make it a simple black & white photo like I've done many times before.

Here's something different this week... not a dramatic scenery and not an intriguing central subject. The reason why I like this photo is because of its simplicity (something which I find difficult to capture, I tend to go for a dramatic look to my photos). The dark complex branches in the foreground contrasting against the simplistic light-toned sky in the background.
