A Word A Week Challenge: Atmospheric

Skinnywench over at A Word in Your Ear has issued this week's "Word a Week Challenge", wherein she picks a word from the dictionary at random and opens her page to fellow bloggers. I often lurk and don't often participate, but this week the challenge is "Atmospheric" and as I am feeling moody...it's a natural fit. Getting started.I snapped this during a beautiful night along Penns Creek. It was the 4th of July, and we'd gone to New Berlin to watch the fireworks.Central PA has its charms, for sure.Fog rolled off of Buffalo Creek and right into my yard this summer. It was fantastic.And then there's sunrise at Belhurst Castle. I apparently rely heavily (but not only) on trees to help set the mood.As nice as uplifting is, the gnarly shots are often more thought-provoking. The following (treeless) picture was taken behind an abandoned mill in Cowan, PA, and I've come to think it is atmospheric in the same way Mad Max is atmospheric.And finally, crazy psycho clouds over Lake Champlain, as seen from an uncomfortably exposed balcony in Burlington VT. Wherein the atmosphere literally sets the atmosphere.Check out the rest of the participants in Skinnywench's challenge over at A Word in Your Ear. Thanks for stopping by!
