Wyoming Thunderstorm
by Kurt Lawson, on FlickrWhile driving along US 16 / 14 on my way west to the east entrance to Yellowstone National Park, I drove through this crazy thunderstorm. The backlight of the late afternoon sun revealed bizarre patterns in the clouds, such as this bluish swirling area. Either the clouds there were thinner in the turbulence or the turbulent clouds allowed sunlight to refract through the storm. At any rate the central area here was moving and swirling rapidly as waves of rain fell below. I have never seen anything like this storm in person before. This was just east of Cody, Wyoming. No vignetting or dodging and burning added, just -.64 stop grad on the sky above the ground.
