Early in the evening yesterday, a storm system approached our area. Seeing what I thought was a most interesting cloud formation, I rushed outside with my camera. Almost immediately, rain began to fall. So I took shelter under the eves of my barn and captured this image.
Nature threw in almost everything she had to create this image -- blue sky, bright patches, medium grey areas, ominous dark regions, and the rain.
The result shown here is a stormy "skyscape" that I hope you will enjoy and comment on!

The camera and lens performed perfectly before the clouds were photographed, and today, when I went to the Delaware shore to photograph shore and marine birds. I chalk it up to the unusual atmospheric conditions, which changed rapidly and drastically. There was heavy rain, but I can only assume that other events I don't understand must have occurred at the level of the clouds.
