Storm Light

Storm Light

One thing I learned a long time ago is when concentrating on an image, don’t forget to look behind you.

I was busy photographing fishing boats at the opposite end of the beach and when I turned around I saw this beautiful light as a sudden rain squall approached. I, literally, snapped the image and then ran for cover as the rain pelted down.

Taken with Nikon D100 and 12-24 lens.

Featured in Sea group, Going Coastal and Featured Features groups.
