Eye of the storm - Broken Hill

One of the things I love about my job is that I get to go to places that I normally would never go to.

 

Last week I was sent to Broken Hill to train some clients. Broken Hill is an inland mining city in the far west of outback New South Wales, Australia.

 

I had seen photos of these sculptures in Broken Hill that I really wanted to shoot. So I took my camera along for the adventure. The sculpture site is a major attraction within the Living Desert Reserve.

 

I was extremely lucky at sunset last week on Wednesday October the 3rd, where this massive storm came directly from the west and passed over Broken Hill. I managed to capture this panorama just before the storm passed over my head. I had minutes to capture this and then run for my life back to the car.I watched this storm approach me for at least 30 minutes and it was incredible. I then had to drive home in the dark with thunder and lightning bellowing around me. It was exhilarating and exciting.

 

This Thunderstorm made the news, as it brought much-needed drought relief to Broken Hill. The downpour struck and the town received 34.2 mm of rain overnight, double the amount of rain reported for the whole year to date.

 

I hope you enjoy this image. Please feel free to share.
