RAIN!! Finally.... our lakes are almost bare. We had one HECK of a storm yesterday. As Shelby and I raced home, because we could see a wall cloud coming at us, I had NO camera, but took the trusty cell out and snapped a picture. Raced home uploaded to the TV station and I made the news ONCE again! I'm always tickled because my parents and friends were watching.

Then, after all the wind, rain and over 100 strikes a minute over the area I felt like a glorious sunset was in order. The situation was ideal. Clearing skies from the north and west, storm drifting off to the south, sunset shooting UNDER all that and Voila! I got about 70 shots along with an incredible rainbow!

Hope you enjoy! Have a great Sunday!

Yesterday I was trying to copy you, shooting clouds :) They turned out very 'blah'! This is a really spectacular image. I especially like the lighting right behind the tree tops. Such a pretty variety of colors over the horizon. Good work as always!

Strong contrast between the fire-like clouds cooled by the darkblue sky. Very warm colours...

Looks like you have lit a fire in the BG Linder!!! The sky's on fire girl.
Beautifully shown, and I think I prefer that little bit of unusual blue and pink clouds that show up below the blue sky on the right.
Well done

Hi, Linda -
What a sky! Unbelievable spectrum of colors shown with great clarity. These sky scenes only last for brief moments - great that you caught this one. Well done.

Hello Linda,

What a spin-off from the storm; a shot like this!
The sky has the most amazing colours and what a good pov you have used to silhouette the trees against them!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
