A filthy day

A recent run of either calimas (Saharan dust) or stormy weather has restricted outdoor shots. (I wanted to capture the lightning but I've never been any good at that, unlike Fred, Yves and others!)

Sometimes this sort of weather makes the most interesting photos.............you're lucky to have such a good vantage point Andy. It looks like a combined thunder and sand storm!

Nicely captured Andy!

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Many thanks, Keith!
Yes, and if it was, then these storms of two days ago certainly swept the last vestiges of the sand storms away!

This does look exceedingly bad weather, and having that amount of view, you can see the weather as it rolls along. At least you do have a notion about what's on its way.

Indeed! Thank you, Jeny!

Sahara sand one day snow the next without leaving the street. This is a spectacular looking storm but storms are less attractive the longer they hang around. Wishing you some more stable weather soon

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Colin Ashcroft ^club

Thank you Colin. Yes, it's been an unusually mixed up kind of Spring, weatherwise. Now it's more peaceful and sunny but unusually cold at night.

I said I was no good at taking shots of LIGHTNING!!! I have tried often but never succeeded!!!!
The recent storms have washed all the sand away!

Ok... you meant thunderstorms and lightning strikes... I understood it was about the gloomy light, sorry.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Xata ^club

That's OK, Isabel. That would have been 'lighting'! Similar, I agree!
