Couple of shots from my recent trip to South Florida

[zhenya]

I had a pleasure to spend a week in Sunny Isles this past week. Just want to share couple of images of the gathering storm that was approaching fast from the ocean. Started out pretty innocent but grew to a nice size storm that never really reached shores...
Thank God for that!



Growing...


Getting closer still and raining...

[zhenya]

And a bit more peaceful skies...





And view of the other side of Collins Ave. at night.

The first set of pics reminded me of when I was in southeast Colorado a few years ago. You had plenty of time to take cover, because you could see it coming from miles away. Neat pics, was there a bunch of lightning too??? I really like the last pic in the second set, that is pretty!!!

[zhenya]

Yeah, there was some lightning but I didn't bother taking images of it because it wasn't really displaying much, just some flashes in the clouds.

[charlie]

At least you weren't running for cover!!!

[zhenya]

At least you weren't running for cover!!!

No, I wasn't running, I was standing on the balcony of the 26th floor condo. Rain never really threatened shoreline, so I was just standing there watching weather unfold, seeping some basting material...

[charlie]

AH, basting material!!!!!!!! That always enhances picture taking!!! Good call
