Aug 1st Storm

At Home, SE Arizona

I looked outside; saw this sky; grabbed up my camera and ran!
Not 10 minutes after I was back safely indoors, we had a bigger
storm than any that hit us in July.

I'm glad your camera was ready for this dramatic scene! I love the lightning shots as well!!

Very dramatic scene with the dark clouds invading the fading evening light .
Your mountain range helps the storm clouds isolate this lovely light.

Good for you!!! Great capture Carol, I have so many gum trees about I cannot get a clean shot of the sky (unless I use 200mm), so I am a little envious! Beautiful capture of the elements here! BIG VOTE!

This is a wonderful image, Carol. I really like the sun illuminating the center like that. There are so many degrees of light in this one shot. Super clouds and I think you do great stuff with landscape composition. voted.

Nice capture, Carol. I like the reflected glow from the Sun and how this changes against the different cloud layers.

Great image - those clouds really have an ominous look.

Cool!! This was always my favorite (but least comfortable) time of year in AZ. You haven't seen an electrical storm till you've seen the huge bolts - many which run parallel to the ground like a river in the sky and never strike the ground - generated by these storms.
