Storm on Salton

As Kevin and I were making our way back north to Palm Springs, beautiful storms started forming over the mountain range west of the Sea. We kept having to stop, what seemed like every few minutes, to shoot. The light was changing constantly and sunbreaks between the clouds were dancing all over the mountains in the back.

 

I had someone look at this shot on my screen before I posted it and they asked "what is all that brown stuff in the foreground? is that land?" No. That muddy brown crap is the Salton Sea. It's amazing that from one angle, the water can look blue and pure - and the other angle it looks downright scary.
