I walked outside after hearing the thunder. Clouds rose from the distance seeming full of water waiting to release.

Just then I looked straight above and saw a huge cloud heading towards a collision course with another.

If only for a moment I was a kid again, smelling the new rain and feeling so small in the world. Dang, it was only a moment!

With high convection of the last few days we've had some strange cloud shapes.

A storm approaches Shenandoah National Park.

Pre rain clouds that looked fairly ominous, luckily were not.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Thunderhead over the Tetons as seen from the famous Moulton Barn and Mormon Row. Thought I'd try some more intense processing for a surreal look. This is a 5 exposure hdr with additional lucisarts application.

Another for the exhibition! Sorry that I have not been active and visiting here on flickr in recent days I am bust getting the exhibition ready, I will get back to you all when I have more time!

A bit after sunrise from a place that was one of the first farms in Otago about 1840 a little north of Dunedin. Have a good weekend. Probably going to rain here.
