Storm Pulls Down From The Heavens... Skywatch Friday

It has been a strange few days ... storms of snow, hail, and lightning with some rain. The light at the time of shooting was eerie yellow and dark so I left it as natural as I could... these are the meandering rivers that flow through the rock beds.

Stormy skies

Blessings in Life said...

It's a beautiful shot! Have a nice day and hope you can visit mine!

Patti said...

Still, there is only the pretense of danger in this skyscape...the clouds look only sort of menacing, not like mid-summer anvil shaped thunderheads. There is a hint of blue, and the slightest bit of sunlight almost overpowers all the gray. Nice shot!

Ralph said...
