Summer Squall

[Heron Marychild]

Camped at Sheldon Antelope Refuge near the Nevada/Oregon border this summer on the way back from the southwest. A place that holds a more legitimate claim than most to 'the middle of nowhere'. Caught this small afternoon storm while exploring some 4WD roads. Shot on Pan F+.

Very cool Heron! This does look like the middle of no where. I haven't been to this place before, but from your description of the location, I am familiar enough to know just how desolate it is there. I like the storm in the background, and I like how your foreground opens up into the storm. Very nice!

 

[Leslie Hunter]

This is very nice.

Looks pretty dramatic to me.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Nicely done. Did you see many antelope?

 

[BarryHamilton]

Excellent! Fine b&w and interesting terrain and dramatic weather. Nicely done.

 

[AlanLichty]

Perfect for the sense of isolation. The shaft of rain reinforces that as well.

 

[Heron Marychild]

Thank you all for the kind words.

Nicely done. Did you see many antelope?

Thanks Jim. We didn't see any at the refuge, but did spot a few driving across the rest of Nevada. Would love to get back to Sheldon for a longer visit, we just stopped for the night passing through.

I have driven though there and counted about 5 vehicles in 50 miles. This is a great shot.
