One evening as we were sat out eating dinner I watched this cloud developing, it rolled its way across the sky unfolding new shapes all the time. I like the smooth top surface of the cloud which resembled icing on a cake which was in contrast to the rest of the cloud which was in constant turmoil. Within a few minutes the sky which had been clear and blue all day was filled with this this massive cloud and it became suddenly dark and the storm which followed produced some of the loudest thunder and most impressive lightning I had seen.
I have chosen two pictures of the cloud as it developed. I wasn't able to take many more because we had to run for shelter very shortly after... the pictures were taken using a Konica KD 400Z digital compact camera.
Nice. While in Florida we experienced one of the most spectacular storms I have ever witnessed. It was dark however and with no suitable vantage point I was unable to take any photos. I later saw what would have been the perfect place, one of the homes near the town of Port St. Joe had been built with what appeared to be a lighthouse on the roof, there was no light in the structure so was probably built as an observation platform with a 360° view, perfect for watching storms and not getting wet.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that often the way? For every good photo there are probably hundreds of missed opportunities.
