We found a little park this evening where we could walk along the waterfront and watch lightning perform its magic across the bay from us. The sun was doing its best to make a final appearance through the receding storm clouds before leaving us for points west. It almost seemed to me that there was a great conflagration occurring in and behind the clouds.

@Katherine - thank you Katherine; refer to the Ansel Adams quote under my profile info :)
@Scott - thank you Scott; I was almost overwhelmed by the colours tonight, and the setting was perfect! Don't worry, I have enough for a month of Sundays ;-)
Ansel Adams is so right. "Sometimes God puts you in the right place at just the right time to get the shot!" I would say God must be standing right behind you, his hand on your shoulder...leading the way cause you my friend capture such wonderful pictures. Have a nice day!
Stunning photo Rick! What a lovely place to go for a walk, just beautiful!
