Edged Thunderheads

Taken in Kansas in August of 2008 with a Nikon Coolpix.
Quite an array of T-Storms hung in the area.
The back-lighted clouds were unusual.

It is remarkable how the clouds echo the treeline. It looks like a telephoto shot of the clouds would be visual high drama. But the beams are nice too. This has several interesting shots in one. At any rate, nice capture.

There were a lot of photos taken of the event and not only by me.

Yes, I have some closeups. This was before I upgraded my cameras, but the small Nikon did OK.

God can paint....

Nice grab shot Larry. I like the red band at the horizon.

Wow! What a sky! I'd love to see some of those close-ups! I love the rich blues and golds - and that tiny edge of red at the horizon. The trees aren't very exciting here - but I think in this case you had to deal with what you were given. :smile:

Gotta love Kansas skies :). The beams over the thunderheads are great, Larry. Sure wish I had been there.
