The Tail
December 28

Interstate 40/Kingston Springs, TN

Weird winter weather again. Lows only in the 50s last night. Thunder,
lightning and winds ahead of another cold front pushing in this
morning. It usually makes for interesting light in the morning. I
almost ran off the road watching it as I drove to work. This is a
shot looking to the east (toward Nashville) as the tail of the storm
meets the rising sun.

Now that is a wonderful color for a cloud. Really nice overall range of color in the image. The red orange cloudscape does it.

Scott, Very dramatic capture...cool effect and excellent lighting and colors.

Guest		28-Dec-2005 16:51
Wow! Scott! I know what you mean about almost running off the road trying to soak in unexpected beauty found along the trail. Looks like a sunset. Amazing effects from the storm clouds. This is Carol (Phipps). My laptop computer screen went out two days ago and I'm out of town caring for my mother whom has failing health after a massive stroke and months in a coma. She knows me but has bad days. Since I'm using a borrowed computer, I'll not be posting until I get home. Blessings to you and all. Carol
