When Storms Arise

During my recent trip we had a lot of rains. When I say "a lot" I mean it rained most of the time.

In a way that was a good thing because of the clouds. The clouds would be really dramatic and so they would provide some really great photo opportunities that might otherwise be lost.

One example was this temple. Its a temple on a far away hill and you can actually see it in the panorama I uploaded a few weeks back.
The storm clouds were rolling in and I grabbed this picture just before the overhanging clouds completely engulfed this temple.

A Storm's Coming

This place has an amazing view that you have to see to believe. I tried a panorama but wasn't successful. I did get good pictures but wan't able to stitch them properly because of perspective shifts. I'll have to work on that.

Anyway towards the evening this cloud front began moving in. For a while it seemed like it would all go away but then in the distance we could see the torrential showers.

In case you are wondering - the grey streaks falling from the clouds towards the left is rain. I know I couldn't believe it when I was little but now I know what it is.

Unfortunately we got caught in the rain when we went out...
