During our camping week at Shenandoah National Park we encountered enough rain and storms to enjoy some drizzle inside our tent. The winds were blowing at up to 35 mph with heavy rains two entire days of our stay. In addition to the two whole days of rain, we also had light rain about half of the nights of our stay. Still, the rainy and stormy weather provided for some interesting lighting. This included rainbows and foggy conditions, as well as some interesting sunsets. In the image below, you can see a thunderstorm rolling in toward Skyline Drive, from the west. This was probably the first time I’d ever seen the setting sun and lightning in the same area of the sky. This image was taken with the Nikon D200 and the 18-70 lens. Image was taken from my vehicle, out the window.

Wow! Just to have witnessed it would have been wonderful but to get the opportunity to photograph it…well that is what we all strive for, isn’t it?
