release
I ventured out a few weeks back after an intense thunder and lightening storm, with bouts of hail and rain and wind, to find this magnificent display of the sky; a brooding tapestry of colors and patterns and swirls with scant beams of light jutting through.
Today I also find myself as that storm; in a place of brooding calm like clouds after a tempest, looking for that light which seeps through the clouds.
Yet I find myself enjoying more the stark contrast, a canopy of emotional relief, that blood-letting of fear, pain and frustration that will bring peace.
The wonderful thing about storms is being witness to the incredulous beauty of nature, the lesson that sometimes pressure must reach a point of letting go.
I think I spent two hours just walking and taking photos, and enjoying what must have been a comic relief of the skies after all that upheaval.
We might learn that storms are not scary or bad or wrong, but the incredible mechanism that nature has created to give water to the earth after too much heat.

True, it's the rainy season in my country and I've been opportuned to see a number of rain storms. I sometimes get lost watching the clouds move instead of running inside.
truly sometimes it's just as fun standing in the pouring rain and feel it soaking your skin. i love the wild sensuality of being at one with nature
Awesome. I just love larger groups of pictures like this that tell a story.
I like creating a little en dit instead of just plopping photos on a page without any reference. otherwise its like watching a silent movie with no subtitles. thanks for stopping by :)
What a beautiful storm there. :)
ty for watching... hug
This is like going on a beautiful walk with you, thank you so much. You add so much to these stunning photos with such poetic prose. This reads like an experience, that I am so glad you shared <3
Beautiful captures @torico. <3
Indeed – one of life's never-ending lessons.
thank you! i would be happy forever just staring at the passing clouds and mountain tops.
I'm pretty sure I would be, too. Clouds are the most incredible reminders of impermanence and balance. Just as is true of 'the nature of all things', they are forever shifting, changing form. As well, it is only the contrast between a shadowy underside and its bright opposite that gives clouds any discernible shape.
wow.
makes my stuff look shit in comparison :P
@dunstuff
These are some really impressive sky pictures! Some of those clouds look like upside down swells on the ocean...
they truly do!! and every patch of sky in every direction had a different layer and depth to it, like a symphony of silence, with the wind and sun shifting each arrangement like a maestro's hands in motion
Now that is a poetic description! :-)
i try... lol!~
i thought the exact same thing :O
lovely!

after the storm comes the calm and the rainbows!
and the chocolate!!
