Hi Linda

A nice tribute to Mujahid-Awais & a sweet gesture on your part. His sudden passing was unexpected, & reminds all of us, to stop squabbling, or procrastinating, & to get out there and shoot. Have a nice weekend!

Hi,Linda. I feel sorry to hear the sad news. His photographs inspired me and many TL members. Thanks for a very fitting tribute to his memory. The photograph of the clouds and the vast sky reminds us of the supreme being and the power of prayers. Great celestial colors with excellent composition. Thanks.Shaukat.

Sorry Linda, i never knew him, never heard of him on Treklens, so never got a chance to see his work.
He was obviously a well liked member. Nice tribute, and beautiful image.

Hi Linda,
Indeed it's sad to know Mujahid-Awais isn't among us anymore his pictures were quite special. Thanks for memorizing this TL member.
Must admit this picture is much better than the previous one in my opinion. So a good dedication to a beloved TL member.

Hello Linda,
Wow! I am jealous of the beautiful skies you have in that little tiny state of Texas. A Very Dramatic sky with exquisite lighting, you should also keep looking up, and up, and up again...
In Memory.......................

Hi Linda,
Excellent selection for a fitting tribute. He, in the little time I've been here, was one of the people whose work I always found fascinating and educational. It's sad for sure.
This sky and the way you captured it evokes very deep feelings.
Thanks for sharing,
Wilt

Hi Linda...great shot...I used to be a pilot and these types of clouds were very frightening as well as beautiful. We had to stay miles away from updrafts and down drafts like this..nice job.
