Beauty and the Storm

Thank you Aline. Appreciate the visit! It was definitely a study in contrasts.

Thank you Rosalie!

Thanks so much, Sheila! Appreciate the visit.

Thanks so much, Sandi! Appreciate the visit.

I'm thankful I don't live in Tornado Alley, but we get enough really severe weather for sure. Last year there was actually a tornado in Chicago itself. I was downtown and the wind and rain was crazy. My Derecho Destruction gallery shows shots from a severe storm in my neighborhood. Not quite a tornado, but close. The weather seems to get more severe as the years go by. Can be really scary; but also amazing and beautiful.

Thanks Mona!

It certainly looked that way, though so beautiful. Love storms, and have a healthy fear of them - beauty in the midst of such power. As I recall, we had to leave our paid for, no refund Galena getaway early because heavy rain at home and a power outage were threatening flooding in the house. Was very disappointed; but these clouds at sunset, were amazing! Thanks for the visit, Michel.

Thanks Linda!

Thanks Lisa. It was pretty incredible to watch the clouds. Very ominous - but also beautiful.
