Gathering Storm

I lived in the desert for about five years and I never got used to the heat. But, there are advantages to everything. The strange desert weather made for some truly awesome storm clouds. You could watch them build and start the down-pour at the end of the valley while standing in the sun where you were.

Mission Storm

I actually went out to get a shot of a really nice rainbow. But the scene of the clouds over the mission was the best opportunity of the day. The clouds were bunched around the mountain. As the sun set, it was shining under them through the heavy rain close the mountain. It made for some particularly dramatic lighting. As you can see from the streak of car headlights on the right of the photo, this was not a short exposure.
