Angry Sky - a photo on Flickriver

Angry Sky

            Sometimes you go out and hope the clouds will blow out of your frame.  Sometimes they give the image an interesting accent.  And then sometimes they're every bit as interesting as your first reason for heading out.  

Shot from the Wild Rivers campground between Taos and Red River in New Mexico.  I'm looking south toward Taos and the late season Milky Way.  The lightning would get much closer and scuttle the early evening of shooting.  But at this point, the uninvited guests really made a good show!  Bright Jupiter features a single glaring eye in a sky accented by clouds illuminated from the ground and a nice lightning strike.  

Cheers!
