    I love summer storms like that - not that you see them coming really, where I am.

    I envy your view. Maybe not your flash foods, but from what I've seen from you and Doc this year you guys have the lovliest clouds. Ever. :D

    Glad to see you're getting a nice soaking, too... it hasn't been quite as long here in SoCal, but the mandatory water cutback talks had started (and begun in some places). We've gotten 3 quick storms in succession over the past week.

    Gus,

    Looks like you could use an underwater housing for your camera:D Here in Santa Barbara we just received 13" of rain in three dayswings.gif clouds were not quite as dramatic but the rain was just as wet.

    It was really dark or really bright today. Not like this at least.

    Nice shot!

    Very dramatic view! Makes the city look so small and defenseless!

    Not at all, Gus. At least IMO I like the masking and I think the foreground is suitably bright for this kind of fast-moving summer storm.

    I think i over cooked it. First time ive ever really done masking & layers so i may have done the noob thing & hit it too hard.

    Oh, I really like this one! That looks like an ideal spot to mark the pavement and then take a photo from the same spot every month for a year. Change of seasons, change of weather, skyline changes etc.

    I really like this photo. I am loving the most recent shots from "downunder". Between the Aussi regulars and DrIT, we're seeing more than ever.

    How about a Smugmug get together around the world!?!

    It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.
