The outline of an avil (thuinderstorm) at left provides the perfect block for the last of the sun's rays. The earth shadow at right with anti-crepuscular rays is exactly opposite the western storm.

"Florida is the thunderstorm capital of the United States. The "lightning belt" in Florida is an area from between Orlando and Tampa to south along the west coast to Fort Myers and east to Lake Okeechobee.
Thunderstorms are attributed to hot, wet air close to the ground combined with an unstable atmosphere. Often the resulting thunderstorms occur during afternoons — June through September — and can be as brief as a few minutes or as long as a couple of hours, but seldom longer." - goflorida.about.com/od/floridaweather/ss/weather_5.htm
"Florida is the Sunshine State, but summer is the time of year where you will encounter a brief thunderstorm almost every day..." Well, its true - we encounter it too yesterday, in the beach near St Augustine. Shooting in rain outdoor - its almost always a complicated process, but shooting in thunderstorm on the beach - its like puling a tail of hungry tiger. Your equipment - camera, tripod, reflectors - they are became a great lightning arrester - and in open areas (like beach) you have a great chance to looks like a Christmas Tree on arsonist's party... :)

During the Spring and Summer the Colorado National Monument is a spectacular location for storm watching. Storm systems sweep through the Grand Valley from West to East. Storm cells will line up and follow each other down the center of the Valley. They are visually well defined and dramatic to watch. They are preceded by gusts of wind and lightning strikes followed rapid downpours and/or short bursts hail. The hail is usually of limited size. If you are patient you may see as many as a half a dozen storm cells pass through over the course of a day. Don't forget to keep an eye out behind you because every once in a while the pattern changes and a storm can come in straight over the top of the Monument and you have lightning strikes popping all around you.

Rotating mesocyclone on severe thunderstorm, near Melbourne. Victoria. Inflow is being drawn in from the upper left and wrapping around the Meso. This is the precursor to tornado development.
Used Nikon d7000, Tokina 11-16mm lens @ 11mm. This clip follows my previous one, now looking south instead of north: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/27285930451/in/datepos...
These storm cells were moving east at 23mph. Defined rainshafts are clearly visible.
More cells are currently forming to my west.
I just love thunderstorms...
