Great sky… I do love strong weather if you know what I mean.
I used to have a photo up on here that showed the weirdest sky I had ever seen…a dry electrical storm going on behind cloud of the oddest shapes ..not outback, but in Echuca.
Keiran Lusk replied
Yes, I know what you mean Caroline. Nothing compares to the wonder, thrill and exhilaration of strong weather. We have been bombarded all week with such weather here in the desert. Whether in Echuca or the outback, stormy weather is simply the best :-)
