Having seen a few thunderstorms like this rolling across the prairies in the USA, I understand your dilemma. This does a fine job of capturing the light ahead of such a storm and of menace that those nasty looking clouds. A fine catch and glad you didn't get totally drenched.

Now that is quite an impressive cloud system! Nice with the flow from the more defined clouds at the bottom to the more soft cloud formation at the top.

Ken,

Wow! Terrific drama - an awesome nature story. You've really captured a sense of pending doom here! I love the colors too, especially the aqua along the bottom tree line. No nits or suggestions.

Glad you were able to out run the storm!

I like the way you've apportioned the sky, mostly dark with just a band of blue. Nice work.

Man that's a powerful looking sky, Ken. Love the colors and the silhouetted trees. The little strip of water is a nice bonus and the large view is ominous.

Many thanks everybody, I am not really a proficient Landscape photographer, but could not resist this "moment" devil
