Dark Clouds But No Rain

This is another photo taken at Birubi on Sunday evening. The clouds were very dark, but it didn't rain.

Since then though we had a storm yesterday and it has rained all day today too. I guess these clouds just came in a bit too early for the weather.

I just love the vastness of the dunes at this beach.

Out for dinner tonight and photo club so won't be able to catch up until tomorrow.

very atmospheric. Having lived in north Queensland for a few years I really miss summer rain and storms as we get our rain in winter down here.

I can really see you live in the vast country of Australia here Babs. I am always amazed when we fly over your country how many hours it takes to cross. Perfect contrast of light & dark clouds.

Great sand and sky shot

[Barb Newcomb]

I love this shot Babs. The dunes are so spread out and the sky is dramatic.

@happypat Me too Pat know what you mean. The pilot tells us as we reach the coast and then hours later we are still in the sky. Driving from NSW to Victoria too is only about 1000 km, but when you look at it on the map of the whole of Australia you realise that you haven't covered even a fraction of our country.

@mbmomentsintime It does Maurice I hadn't noticed that. Maybe it is a pterodactyl.

We thought we were in for a soaking, but it was a warm evening and the black clouds just blew away and no rain.
These dunes cover about 32 kms.
