Last night the sky was on fire… and I almost missed it.

Overall the day was horrible – cool and overcast with periods of rain and thundershowers. I typically get excited about these days as the stormy weather generally blows out during the early evening creating the possibility of a dramatic sunset image. As usual the sun did make an appearance just before sunset and hinted at the chance of igniting the gray clouds promising more rain to come. Given the ominous nature of another approaching weather front, I quickly dismissed the odds of a spectacular sunset (silly me!) and went about editing images in Lightroom when Cam said not to look outside as I’d be disappointed with my decision not to head out.

The setting was too good to give up and not wanting to waste the opportunity I set up in the kitchen (who says you have to go halfway around the world for adventure) and captured images of a church tower down the block.
