Chasing the storm...

Thank-you RavenSoul. It was an awesome day of stormy weather :-)

Thanks Pamela B, for your lovely words. I managed to avoid this particular storm, but got hit hard whilst driving back to Uluru by the next storm (which brought hail and started a fire in the National Park). It was a crazy day :-)

Thank-you Linda. I am very conscious of not overloading my portfolio (and the lovely people on the watchlist) with a million storm images, so I am pleased that you think this is my best yet! Goodness, I really do enjoy capturing these shots :-)

Many thanks EOS20, I am so pleased that you think so :-)

Thank-you kindly good sir. I appreciate your words :-)

Thank-you most kindly Sharon, I really appreciate your wonderful words and support. Hope all is well in the Top End :-)

I too love the vibrant colours of red sand dunes against a dark brooding sky. Thanks Jus, for your wonderful comment. Enjoy :-)

Me? A storm chaser? Never… (cough cough). Oh ok, I may be developing just a slight obsession for following the weather and enjoying the exhilaration of being close to our amazing desert storms and capturing these images :-)

Thank-you most kindly Kristina! Wow, be careful, or I may flood your activity monitor with a million more desert images. I appreciate your encouragement and support :-)

Thank-you very much Gary :-)

Ok… but I did warn you Rachel! The storm-photographing-fatigue has nearly passed, so watch out or your activity monitor may be quickly overloaded with new images! Thank-you dearly, for your wonderful words and support :-)
