Calm before the Storm

As summer draws to an end, the number of intense, sporadic storms seems to increase. The dark clouds roll in, and the last rays of late afternoon sun are quickly extinguished.

But on last week’s occasion, the clouds were a thin enough veil to project the warm evening sun across the entire sky and farm.

The house glowed bright orange, a slight fog hung in the air, and a feeling deep in my gut left no doubt that something big was about to happen.

Update: it wasn’t until I uploaded the photo and updated the site that I noticed the little orbs of light throughout the picture from that evening. It only further expresses the energy that was in the air during that fleeting moment.

      Thanks, John! It was just being in the right spot at the right time… and having a fully charged camera battery.
