Storm Clouds

Dark ominous clouds greeted me as I got off the train this arvo. I got home just before it broke, a short, but heavy downpour. Flash in the pan really, but every bit helps.

    'twas impressive to behold, there were better ones too, but I was driving by then. Of course, cloud darkness varies considerably with where you are in relation to the sun as well.

    Not one drop out my way.

    We might have got 2mm if that. It was a really shot downpour, and we've had a couple of sprinkles throughout the evening. The rain guage reads empty, but it's not in the most ideal position.

    WOW! Quite a dramatic looking photo.
    Think I would have cloned out the lamp post, just my opinion tho.
    Great cloud!
    (No offence David)

    Yeah I was in two minds about that Cecily. I usually don't do much (if any) editing of my photos.

    That cloud looks really Majestic.

    I wouldn't mind too much Kev if I knew that they'd previously dropped their load into the dam on the other side of the range, but I suspect that wasn't the case.

    Thanks Jill, had another light sprinkle this evening too :)

    Wow, very dramatic. Wishing you more rain to to come.
  • David de Groot said:
    Thanks Margot :) Here's hoping. Although a clear sky tomorrow afternoon around sunset would be good - that way I might get a chance of photographing the comet.

    This is great! I like clouds :) The broken streetlight is a nice touch
  • David de Groot said:
    Thanks again :)
    The streetlight however isn't broken, it just has shielding on it to make most of the light go straight down into the carpark and not spread into people's house windows.
