Storms over Minneapolis

As the storms rolled in, I raced off to hide my Jeep in a parking ramp to avoid the hail.
The hail never came, but the totally awesome clouds did.

I couldn’t help but come visit—this photo is awesome!

Stay safe though please. Your weather looks nasty.

It looks frightening! Nice photo.

Fabulous color and light. Love the left-right color gradient from warm to cool and the way the light falls on the windows of the buildings at left-center. Another illustration of the maxim that fortune favors the prepared.

Wow, that does look a bit scary!

Thanks all for such nice comments! I was thrilled when I got the shot — the effect in the sky was gone on a few minutes, so Strangetastes, you were right, fortune favors the prepared. Much like the phrase: luck is when preparation meets opportunity.

I got lucky, I had my camera and I went looking for trouble.

That looks straight out of a movie set Mitch. Gorgeous shot and you’re right, awesome clouds!
