Some Crazy Cool Clouds

[JimFox]

This was from back in June in Greeley, Colorado. There was an awesome lightning storm going on, so I ran with my grandson to a local pond area. The light and clouds were ever changing as it was happening during sunset. While trying to capture lightning shooting in another direction, I saw these clouds formed and the color on them, this was about 90 degrees from where the main lightning was. So I stopped for a few minutes to shoot these clouds, it got some cloud stikes a time or two, but no bolts to the ground. So I didn't spend a long time with this, but enough to get it.

It was hard to pull away from shooting lightning strikes, but this I thought was worth the small break to capture.

All comments are welcome,

I'd turn around to shoot that - neat cloud formations.

Yeah, it was cool. It was raining around us. Just a few sprinkles where I was at, though later that night when I was back at my daughters it really started pouring.

Jim, this is a great shot of mammatus clouds, I only saw this once on my way to Idaho many years ago, lovely tones.

Thanks so much Jeffrey. I think I made the right choices. It's just hard to turn away from shooting lightning as it's so awesome, and pretty rare too.

Jim, yes, after five days of a wild trip in Utah, I am back at home.

That's simply a fantastic image Jim. Sometimes, you just have to turn around . . .
