Description

a storm came through last night and rained but it was short lived. I took a lot of the storm clouds, but after wards they lit up a volcano at night. I tried to get some lightning but after about 300 shots, all I got was one flash.just as soon as I would lower the camera for a break, it would strike in the distance(15-20 miles away) this is a preview to my next post.if I say so myself, the following captures are among the most dramatic sun sets I have ever taken. to say the least, I was outside for more than 2 hours shooting the sky thanks for viewing and any comments.

Wow, I didn't know that this kind of 'weather' is still allowed somewhere after 4,5 billion years of earth's history. Really impressive shot, even without lightning.
