Very dramatic photo, Helen. Well done! Wouldn’t like to be out there in the middle of nowhere and get caught out in that storm without my raincoat or umbrella. The lightning looks like a pole you could slide down from the upper level to the ground and the sun is dramatically shining on the rain pouring down from the storm clouds, creating the rainbow and watering the foreground grass. The dense storm clouds look dark, as the angle of the sun cannot penetrate them. From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
I warmly, and much so, go fully along with Ginnie’s comment.
A marvellous photo by any standard! Well done, Helen, and thanks muchly for sharing this spectacle with us. You must be mighty pleased with your photographic effort. I know I would be.
I hope that your photo would gain consideration for inclusion in the CAS 2019 calendar. Here’s hoping just that!
Laurence
Helen, you photo has it all: clouds, rain, lightening, road to the clouds, intense colors! I love it.
