Sunset storms

We were just on the western edge of a front of storm activity which went down the wheatbelt this afternoon. I raced out to a local vantage point hoping for some good shots.

This one is reasonably nice although I don't feel I've processed the best out of it. I'm quite rusty at this photography thing, after months of wedding planning almost full time!

Awesome looking clouds Roger.
You should submit it to the Cloud Appreciation Society. They'll love this.

Ahh right, interesting, I only saw it on the radar to the east. Oh well, can't be in 100 places at once I guess

figures

my camera is in for open heart surgery and the storms start rolling in

I like the second one! is that Mundaring Weir in the background? the horizon looks familiar

Been a pretty busy 24hours for GPATS

Strangely, I couldn't see any lightning east but could see it west, well, judging by the GPATS image, looks like it was more south west for me, Busselton to Augusta etc.
Though that would be too far away to be what I was seeing.
