Storm Over Nevada 20050526-288257b
Captured this image of a storm over Nevada as I was traveling from San Francisco to Riggins Idaho in 2005. I was carrying two Nikon Coolpix cameras - a then superzoom E8800 - one of the first - and its companion wide angle E8400. There are few places to stop in this area of Nevada on Hwy 95 between Winnemucca and the Oregon border. Orovada is one of those places that has a gas station and a few other services. When I pulled onto a side road to capture this image, I was a bit hesitant to get out of my car since I knew it is much safer to stay inside. When I did emerge out of my car to capture this image, there was the distinct smell of an approaching storm - ozone. I took a couple quick shots, got back in my car, and continued on my trip as the rain began to fall, with thunder roaring behind me, and flashes of lightening in the sky.
