Dark skies and sunlight

Even the most prosaic photographic subject can assume a certain level of grandeur when it is sunlit against a sky of dark clouds. It's one of the reasons I like to go out with my camera when the forecast is for sunshine and showers. That wasn't what the meteorologists had in mind during a recent visit to Stamford: sun all day they said. Fortunately they were wrong and I managed to grab a shot of this old street as the sun broke through the overcast sky. Here's a couple of other shots that benefit from this kind of weather and illustrate my point.
