Storm over the mountain by maggiemae

Storm over the mountain

My camera GPS says Seligman, Arizona - on the way to the Grand Canyon. Passed into forested territory from the bare desert and lightning flashed consistently from these dark clouds!
Three good things
1 Probably the only good photo I took on this long journey - 6 hours!
2. Breakfast this morning was different from yesterday - baked french bread, cinnamon cream and fresh blueberries! Baked as opposed to fried!
3. Arrival in Grand Canyon means another completely different scene - so many tourists. John met some from Russia on one of the latest Indian motorcycles!. Needless to say, photos all round!
What a tremendous patch of sky you have captured there. I don't ususally manage any photos, let alone any good ones on a 6 hour journey!

A wonderful stormy cloud shot. The canyon's South Rim is magnificent, but so is the North Rim! You can get up early and go to the Watchtower and get some incredible sunrise photos. The Grand Canyon is really grand. Fav!

Such a spectacular image of the storm in the distance beautiful the way you have captured the light. Sounds like you had another fabulous day too.

That looks pretty ominous.

@grammyn Well it was great to see the territory but sitting in a car for 7 hours is not the best recipe for old bones, Katy!

Almost looks like a painting. Great scene.
July 25th, 2017  
Quite a dramatic scene. Enjoy the Grand Canyon, too.

@maggiemae I know what you mean but you need to stop and stretch a bit every now and then.
