Thunderclouds....



Thunder clouds over Bishop California

"We can never have enough of nature.  We must be refreshed by the sight of 
inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic features, the sea-coast with it's wrecks,
 the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees, 
the thunder-cloud and the rain."
Henry David Thoreau


Oops!  This is my first Sunday Stills post...and I didn't realize the plan was
to post two of the past challenges...

My first was clouds...
and now my next is from my archives...for blue...

    I love the colour of the sky in contrast with the black clouds.

    Thanks Karen! The shot was taken at Bodie, a California State Historical Park and is a ghost town from the late 1800's to early 1900's... It was notorious for it's lawlessness and amoral culture... The building behind the truck is one of the buildings that has survived both weather and fire since the town was abandoned close to one hundred years ago!

    Thanks Justine! They were pretty spectacular in person too!!! And much appreciated as the thunderstorms cooled the area down a bit!!!

    Thank you Aurora! It's one of my favorites from Bodie...a California State Historical Park!
