Stormy weather
13 August 2006 @ 19:07 in Media
At around twenty to six this evening, there were a few desultory flashes of lightning and grumblings of thunder. Minutes later, both slammed into position above the house, and the heavens opened. Within seconds, a remarkably strong river was flowing down the street next to our house – we live at the foot of a fairly substantial city hill – and the four-lane 'A' road our front was under an inch or more of rainwater. By the time I thought to get the camera and set up the tripod, the rain had abated, but you can see from the picture above – plus a few more here – how deep and wide the mini river was. Less than ten minutes after this picture was shot, bright, crisp sunshine was adding a burnished highlight to the wavelets.
