Summer is full of pumped up skies. The high humidity and still winds generate powerful thunderstorms during evening hours over the city. While their presence is scary, at the same time they help to thaw the climate and replenish water table. Before the thunderstorms brew, the massive nimbus cloud formation is stunning for weather enthusiasts like me. The heavy clouds with evening Sun create majestic art in the sky. Beholding such a site is unwinding for people like me who stay in cities.
The other aspect of thunderstorm is distant rain shafts. One of advantage of staying in relatively high raise apartment is to witness such dramas over sky. Hopefully we get opportunities to witness the distant pouring this year as well. Following pictures were captured last year during thunderstorm season. The apartment last floor helped me to capture full length rain shaft which passed quickly from east to west. Hope you enjoy them!
...wonderful dramatic skies. Rain is necessary and often destructive! Take care and stay well.
