Somewhat rain-filtered bands of sunset light hit the turbulent underbelly of a shelf cloud, produced by the same pool of outflow as its photogenic northern reaches a few minutes before. The softly beautiful scene belied some danger overhead. This was taken out my vehicle’s passenger-side window, thanks to a nearby lightning strike and the related need to get inside. Soon I would be shooting the lightning itself, from a safer distance to the rear.
