We are headed for drought, I fear, though the Georgia Drought Monitor still indicates otherwise. It has been many days without rain, and after some lovely dry and pleasant afternoons, the humidity has returned. Today, at last, cloud-filled skies came back, as well. I watched eagerly as Doppler Radar at Weather.com indicated a line of storms building; I could hear occasional thunder rumbling outside. Alas, the line formed just south of where I live; indeed, my house is close to the northern edge of the rainfall. The storms lingered as steady showers in some areas, including the spot in this photograph. But somehow, they never reached Piney Woods Church Road. As I walked back home, a pickup truck rolled by, leaving a cloud of road dust in its wake. At least it’s raining somewhere….
I love this, Clifford. It’s so beautiful and moody and full of a range of lights and darks.
I am grateful that you enjoy this image, Robin. Thank you. I love photographing rain clouds. Ironically, I am terrified of lightning — not the best combination.
