A brief, beautiful sunset Thursday evening. Gorgeous colors. Beautiful clouds. Really beautiful!
After a short downpour, by 11 p.m. the thunder and lightning started. We don’t get much of that around here and it’s usually brief. But we got plenty. What’s notable is that it kept going. I woke up to spectacular lightning and plenty of thunder early yesterday morning and it rumbled and flashed all day, mixed with the occasional cloudburst. And we were still seeing lightning 24 hours later.
And the weather forecast? Coastal fog and sunshine.

I’ve lived on the coast many years now, and have still not seen a good lightning storm, or at least compared to what I used to see back in Ontario. I hope you enjoyed yours!
We had enough of everything that I could try out all sorts of reactions from enjoyment and wonder to bewilderment. Window-rattling thunder in the afternoon was unsettling. And today, Saturday, we’ve had still more intermittent thunder.
Just gorgeous! Orangey looking clouds. Sounds like a day of rockin’ and rollin’ in the Pacific Northwest!
Very well done. Not too often one sees clouds with these colors. Your weather sounds a lot like ours, except we don’t have fog this time of year; but we do have a lot of fog during the winter, when it gets cold – down in the 50s.
Wow – the colors in that cloud and that steel blue sky – are just gorgeous together.
Colors are just great in this shot.
That is a beautiful cloud..Stay safe from the storm 🙂
Your commentI love the delicacy with which you have captured these delicious light in the clouds, like a poem.
Lovely light.
Gorgeous colors between the sky and the clouds. Could you send some of that rain our way here in KansasMissouri? Thanks in advance. 🙂
Gorgeous shot, Kay… I drove to Alki Beach that night trying to capture some lightning strikes that were over the Peninsula, but didn’t manage to get any… Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #39!
very pretty!
here its even hotter than yesterday…
Love it when clouds ‘reflect’ the sun light like this.
