Apocalyptic sky

[brianvds]

I keep on forgetting to post these images, but here they are, finally. I took these photos of a summer storm early in January. The sun was setting, and was visible through curtains of rain, while above, the clouds boiled. It created a quite unearthly spectacle, and these photos do not even begin to capture the full impact, or the amazing range of colours. It has been a while since I have seen everything from deep blues to greens to acidic yellows and oranges in the same sky.





Unfortunately the rather cheap and unsophisticated point-and-shoot camera couldn't quite capture the very wide range of lights and darks, so some areas ended up overexposed and others too dark.
