This photo was taken from my back yard. The clouds were so dense and so grey that it seemed as if they were smoke coming from the forest. The first thing that popped into my mind was the expression "Holy Smokes". So, I decided to go to google and find out the origin of this expression.

I found this

and, The Urban Dictionary says:

1. Holy Smokes

1) An expression to show suprise or exclamation.

2) To smoke the reefer in a church

1) Holy Smokes! That's Cheyanne Silver in that porno.

2) You dogg, won't you come up in here and have ya some holy smokes wit ya brotha?

PHOTOFILTRE:
-Cropped off the top of the photo
-Sharpened slightly and added highlights only on the clouds
-Added borders

Thank you for visiting.

hi Lurdes

Quite a long time that I have not visited your gallery. This photo catches my attention with the title and the really dense cloud formation, and yes, it does look like smoke. Nicely captured composition and presented in B&W.

Olá Lurdes,
Fantástica foto; as nuvens parecem cavalgar sobre as árvores. A luz escura acentua o efeito dramático da imagem muito bem composta.
Parabéns.

Hello, Lurdes!
At first sight these clouds look like a forest fire, they are so sinister and gloomy.
Very nice and poetic photo.
