Exciting weather, or maybe not

A storm hit Melbourne tonight. It had been forecast for days and in my experience, such a lead up ends up being a disappointing and undramatic storm. Not so in some parts of Melbourne though. This is my effort at capturing the foreboding approach. While it wasn't quite sunny, the eastern sky was quite light and reflecting on the buildings. Others have done better, or differently.

It dribbled a bit here but was really a non-event more show that substance :-).

Cheers FruitCake.

Kath, you are headed for your first winter. Ohhhh.

Weather photos always go down well Victor.

Not even an inch here Windsmoke, and that was over a few hours.

That's a really nice shot. I haven't looked at the others yet.

Andrew said...

River, thanks. Just a bit different from the others. I like my 'ink' framed.

Ben said...

Wow! That's one nasty looking storm. Hope the Highrise is cyclone proof.

Don't know Ben, but you can be quite isolated from the weather if you keep the blinds shut.
