Description
I chased the storm all around the hills from dusk to late night. It was being pushed by winds along an everchanging path, so everytime I could find a good panoramic spot, it had just changed direction and i could not take shots the way I wanted. Moreover, most of lightning was happening above the visible layer of clouds: the whole sky was illuminated by a diffuse violet light, a cool scene to look at, but not good for taking pics. Finally, a strong wind started blowing on my area, bringing the storm just above my head. I could take a few pics; a few minutes later i took this one, rain began to pour.Winner of =onewordphoto 's STORM contest .

Absolutely beautiful.
My brother loves this too, more so than me. But that's because he's a total weather nut and this is the sort of thing he'd like to do when he's older.
