I was sitting in my backyard watching the clouds gather into the intense blue gray color. I took these just before the thunderstorm was above us.The temperature dropped three degrees in just s short while…got to love Finnish summer and the amazing 17 C degrees of warmth.
Wow! the light is amazing. Rare to catch it at the right time too.
Thanks Carmen, it was easy to catch safely under my patio. This time it was very near. The roar nearly had us jump. Fortunately the lightning was not near us
Ooooh I love that feel before the thunderstorm – captured beautifully in these pics!
Thanks, the dark sky gives the nature such a great contrast. Intensifies the colors
Nicely dramatic!
the colors are so intense… love the effect. Nearly jumped out of our skins when the thunder roared on top us. No lightning,,,but the volume was high
17 degrees, eh? Wow, Bristol can be tropical compared to that – but have to say that now I’m older, 70 soon, I prefer cooler days. Enjoy the warmth! A 🙂
yeah, normal Finnish summer is back. We had a very nice and warm June. We sure are 😀
I love watching the sky get all dark like this right before a downpour. My coworkers think I’m nuts….
why on earth, it is such a powerful show…
Exactly!
