The Storm Approaches Chicago by taffy

The Storm Approaches Chicago

Late afternoon warnings of the storm to come. The city looked so vulnerable to me as I looked west at the approaching lightening (which I couldn't catch on camera) and rain. Fortunately, all we ended up with was a bunch of rain and some morning fog.
Main album shows the scene a few hours later.

You are so high - it looks as if you are in a plane! I can't see any other tall buildings here!

Very dramatic, feels as though that huge alien ship from Independence day is about to move into shot!

Gorgeous and dramatic capture

Wow, that's a really dramatic capture.

So dramatic! Lightning is really hard to capture!

Wow, what a dramatic sky. Not sure I would want to be so high up in a storm. Certainly not with the winds we have had recently.

Ominous looking clouds! Glad you just got rain and fog.

Wonderful capture. So strange to not see any mountains on the horizon. My son once dated a girl from Iowa. When she came to visit I asked her how she liked Oregon. She said "well, it's pretty, but I feel so closed in. I'm used to wide open spaces."

wonderful image. I have been seeing a lot of clouds like this on my travels through TX, OK, and CO. It seems the weather is just taking over.

You have such a marvellous vantage point in your apartment. What a great view.

Wow that is impressive, good thing it only came with rain!

I love storm clouds, this is fabulous. FAV

interesting that a cloud can overpower and make even Chicago seem small and vulnerable. Liam said when he was young that he like to go out and sit on the trampoline so he could look at the sky and remember that he was small.

Gosh, brooding clouds indeed.

What a dramatic capture

This cityscape reminds me a great deal of the scene I see as I take off and land at O'Hare. The clouds captured are indeed ominous looking.
