Calm Before the Storm

The weather changed rapidly at Jackson Lake. Hailstones the size of

marbles kept me under the porch roof.

WoW... that is one Ominous Sky it is... a most marvelous image my friend!

-r-

Yeah, looking at that sky I'd be sheltering under the porch too!

Amazing looking sky, I can't help but wonder how it would have looked from the waters edge without the foreground trees.  Not that I would be brave enough to chance it either : - )

Compliments!

Those are mean-looking clouds, and the sweeping motion tells where they are headed.  Yeah, except for the hail, being near the water and perhaps able to zoom in a bit to avoid the cloud gap on the left might have been nice.  I was here for the first time a month or so ago, and it's a fascinating place.  If you live here, you are very fortunate.

Dominick, I'd be under the porch.  Wonderful capture.  You have created a most dramatic image.  I take it that this posting means that you and your camera emerged untinged in this act of nature.  Larry

Larry,  my gear is supposed to be water resistant but I pushed my luck here.  Rain blew in and covered it pretty well, and I have speckled rejects to remind me.  Next time, a lens filter and a rain jacket!

Spectacular! 

Spectacular indeed!  Congrats!

Wow, if this is the calm, I would have been terrified to be in the storm!!! The clouds have that very errie color. I would have been just a bit creeped out by this sight. So glad you were OK, sorry to hear about the equipment. I guess we can never be too careful. Fantastic capture Dominick!!

Hi Dominick,

 Wow...breathtaking scene with powerful sky & colors.  Take care, Patsy
