Angry sky

.

Went up to see my folks in Noblesville today, and this imposing mass of clouds rolled in to greet me. I was certain at any moment that lightning was going to begin shooting down and a torrent of liquid sky would be unleashed upon me, but it simply glowered as I kept on my route. It was only later that they decided enough was enough and deluged the area with an impressive display of electricity, wind, and plenty of the wet stuff.

Unexpected

I snapped this one for the heck of it as I was leaving the coffee shop today. It really was an afterthought, or maybe a castoff thought. I realized I was losing all my daylight, and that my photo for today might wind up being something around the house after it had gotten dark. I didn’t want to do that, so I figured, “Oh, I’ll try this ‘shooting into the sun thing’ again and see how it turns out.” The clouds and the trees happened to line up well, but I didn’t think it would look as interesting as it does now. It’s not prize-winning, but I love what the light did around the clouds. I hope to try this out again in the future, hopefully sans powerlines.
