Not too long after this the rain started pouring down.

Shot taken 22nd July 2006 at Silverstone UK. The heavens opened and the day turned as if it were night time in a matter of about 3 minutes. I never managed to get a shot of the lightening but then, I was fearing for my life stuck in the middle of it in a pair of shorts (it had been a glorious sunny day until then and was again about 45 minutes later!!) Freaky!!

From my front porch back in 2005....

Neat shots all. Here is another, with rain coming down, sun out and sundog on the cloud edge.

May 24, 2007

Same day at my back door as the rain was ending...

A month or so ago, I was in the northern part of France (Ardennes) and there it came. I had to hide in the car 'till it was over.

Eerie! One last one from me...smaller clouds advancing before a giant storm front.

This was taken on 18th November 2006.  At 2.30pm!  It's so dark! Not long after this shot was taken we had over 1in of rain!
