gorgeous effects on an already incredible sky!
It was an amazing change in weather in moments! Thank you!
It’s like a giant hand is reaching down from the universe. I like the riders on the storm image though – like Mannanan MacLir of Irish legend. Great spot.
Thank you Safar!
Amazing clouds here Andy! And a neat little poem.
Thank you DJ! it was a storm from hell on a cloudless day – come to think of it much like a storm from the ocean breaking over my dear Sydney….
It does have a bit of an Aussie feel to it!
Yes, it had that intensity and speed that I remember so well
Was it all over quickly as well?
yes it was so similar it makes me think hard about climate change it was so not like a usual European storm ….
Wow a thought-provoking storm!!
Nice shot. Thanks for joining in on the challenge.
Thank you, a good challenge!

👍 No hurry, agree it is a bit time consuming. Thanks, congrats n hope your weekends going good 🙂
What is that?
It was the sky just before a huge storm rolled in over Brussel on Friday evening…
wow now that is quite scary,wasnt it, or just fascinating? x
The whole storm front approaching was fascinating and dramatic, especially the strong wind which resulted in a lot of dust and very sore eyes later!
sounds totally scary i hope you hid inside x
No! I went outside to shoot it and got any eyeful of stormy grit! ;-(
yikes, as long as no damage done to either lens x
Sore eyes that’s all…(still!) and looks like another storm coming today!!
yikes, stay in doors if you go out wear ski goggles x
That will scare the neighbours …
haha
