Even within the span of a few minutes, and all around the same feature, storm light can change dramatically. Compare this with our first view–similar, different, and sublime! The short passage of time has allowed some shifting of subcloud light by the differential motion and shape changes of the arcus cloud’s base and a background cell. Meanwhile the cool tints in the deep cloud lost the greenish undertone and left a slate blue to behold aloft. As with beautiful models, some storms essentially take their own photos by striking the right poses, and this was one.
