Stormy weather

Extreme weather in The Netherlands, an impression of the biggest storm since 20+ years. I do not often convert photos to black and white (I am not that much of a photoshopper). But these waving trees were simply asking for it. It added the drama and gloom that I was looking for. I achieved a prolonged exposure time by mounting a 3-stop neutral density filter to the wide-angle lens.
