Description While camping in Northern Maine, a severe thunderstorm formed directly over Mount Ketahdin just as the sun was setting. On the left side of the frame the sun is just outside the frame, about the drop below the horizon. On the right side of the frame, you can see it raining heavily. I had never seen a thunderstorm become colorful from a sunset, it was absolutely bizarre. It almost looked like the nice weather was fighting with the storm. The line of trees in the middle is an island on Pockwockamus Lake. I was camping in an unincorporated area of Piscataquis County, many miles from the nearest town. Aimee - =SeptSky helped me with some minor editing here. Please check out her gallery, she is an absolutely amazing photographer.

I love the processing Ryan. That tree in the middle just pops! I do wonder though how it would look maybe cropping off some of the black space at the bottom?

Thanks Devin! That's a fantastic idea...and I'm going to give it a shot and see how it looks. It's just too bad I have to block you now for your constructive criticism.

Whoa. This is so lovely. From the dark storm clouds at the top all the way through the sudden shock of color and back down again to the darker ground. It reminds me of sunsets up in the Appalachian foothills when I was growing up.
