Here is the approaching storm front of the "passing storm" clouds system. There was a heavy rain line coming down the lake, which hid the low sun moments before. Shower was brief where we stood, accompanied by gusty wind. These images are about 30 minutes apart. There was lightning activity across the lake, but not near our position.
Late afternoon today on the way home we saw this great looking sky with a thunder storm building up in Padangalak, lightning was already visible in the clouds to the right. As it was rapidly getting darker, there was unfortunately no interesting object to use in the foreground..

Thorncrown Chapel was designed by world renowned architect E. Fay Jones. Fay was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas in 1921. He studied at the University of Arkansas, Rice University, the University of Oklahoma, and finally under his mentor Frank Lloyd Wright at the Taliesin Fellowship.
Jones’ awards include the 1981 American Institute of Architecture National Honor Award for Thorncrown Chapel and the AIA Gold Medal (1990). Thorncrown was listed fourth on the AIA’s top ten buildings of the 20th century. When alive, Mr. Jones was recognized as one of the top ten living architects of the 20th century.
The inspiration for Thorncrown Chapel was Sainte Chappelle, Paris’ light filled gothic chapel. Fay affectionately labeled Thorncrown’s style as “Ozark Gothic.” The chapel rises 48 feet into the sky with over 6,000 square feet of glass and 425 windows. Its dimensions are 24 feet by 60 feet. The chapel is made with all organic materials to fit its natural setting. The only steel in the structure forms a diamond shaped pattern in its wooden trusses. The building has a native flagstone floor surrounded with a rock wall which gives the feeling that the chapel is part of its Ozark hillside.
In order to preserve Thorncrown’s natural setting, Fay decided that no structural element could be larger than what two men could carry through the woods. The building materials are primarily pressure treated pine 2x4s, 2x6s, and 2x12s. The larger elements of the building such as the trusses were assembled on the floor and raised into place.

I don't often post images with no direct light. But I thought this had a nice feel to it. The approaching storm brought rain, hail and snow. It was nice to be out though. I'll be back to try this composition again.
