Aftermath

Typical for Colorado summers was my thought today: "oh well, it was only pea-sized hail." The violent storm lasted long enough to lay the dust before passing on. I went out looking for a rainbow, but found these clouds instead.

What a totally dramatic picture!

Especially as we're in the middle of a t'storm. :)

Love the dramatic color contrasts and shapes!

You really have an eye for a good cloud photo.

Thanks, but I just tend to think I have good clouds.

Did you use a telephoto lens for this? Or drive up to a high vantage point? It reminds me of a photo i took over Atlanta, circling a thunderstorm as we came in for an evening landing. I convinced myself the quality of the light, the low rays, would be hard to catch without being up high. So your photo tests my theory!

(It's wonderful, by the way.)

I live at a high vantage point: 7200 feet, which would bear out your theory. I also was using my 10x telephoto.

Couldn't help studying that picture for the outstretched hands of God and man. . .
