Does make for some very nice photos. I'm sure I've done a bouple photos with these clouds once but at sunset when they were more deep red or orange. Maybe not the same cloud type but sure looked like it. To bad I read this story the day after

It was very strange seeing the clouds line up that way.

Great photographic use of black and white to accent the clean lines. Nice work on such a chance shot.

I would have tried to take a photo but it was a wee bit too dark.
I also found out last week that you must be VERY patient... and lucky... to get a picture of a lightning bolt.
