Christmas Day 2011, Melbourne was hit by a series of storms. This shot was taken in the Northern suburb of Melbourne called Craigieburn. The storm was responsible for around 3000 calls to the State Emergency Service with hail stones in some areas the size of baseballs.

Shot taken with a Nikon D60, with Cokin Grad Filters attached. Shot in Raw format then converted, cropped and tweaked using Photoshop CS5.
