Thursday's Challenge- "Clouds"


These first two photos were taken from Gooseneck State Park in Utah.

The previous two photos were taken from the Moki Dugway, which was basically a gravel road with a lot of switchbacks, a steep grade and an 1100 ft drop over the side.
This last photo was taken in Arches National Park during a thunderstorm. The storm started and ended within an hour. It was very pretty to watch from the safety of our car!

And if it's anything like the Upper Mojave, 15 minutes after it quit, you couldn't tell it had rained at all.

Beautiful country, but it sucks the moisture out of everything! And in a big hurry too!

Love that first shot, where you can see the rain sheeting down to the earth. Beautiful part of the world!

Beautiful shots. I've never been to Utah but have always admired photos of its landscapes.
