Thursday Evening Photos

We've been having some crazy weather this summer. I live in Southern Ontario, Canada, and I don't know about you, but it has been one rainy summer. We've been getting thunderstorms almost every day. On most days, we will have bright sunshine one moment, and thunderstorms the next. Something just isn't right, that's for sure. The above photo was taken out of our bedroom window in the evening - a lovely sunset. You can see in the photo above (and the photo below) the ominous clouds looming above the pink sunset with a patch of rain coming down in the distance.


About a half hour later, the storm that was once in the distance was now overhead and it was a wild one! The winds were quite intense, with booming thunder and lightning that lit up the sky. I tried to take a picture out the window, but it was pretty dark by this point and the raindrops had blurred my view. This is the best image that I photographed - it didn't capture the weather very well, but you can see just how dreary it became outside - a stark contrast to the beautiful sunset from just moments earlier.
