Sunset Lightning Bolts

in #photography5 years ago

We had a really spectacular sunset Thursday night. A storm was rolling in over Utah Lake. We were hiking a ridge above Springville and had a great view as the setting sun turned the first curtains of rain glorious peaches and purples and pinks. And then the lightning started :)

As this storm moved its way up the valley later Thursday night, it caused a delay in the "holy war" - the BYU - Utah college football game.

It certainly looked like a holy storm to me.

We hiked up on the same ridge again tonight, no storm but @thingone did find this wicked awesome skull with antlers:

Golden mountain sides and pasture land, this would make a nice painting:

Beautiful! such a great place to get the shots with reflections and mountains. We are currently renting in Mapleton but just closed on a home purchase in Springville. I take it you live in Utah valley?

Congrats on the home close! Springville is so beautiful. I'm about 20 minutes north of you guys. We oughta connect up and do a little steem meetup with the locals sometime!

That cloud is stunning, it looks so powerful and dangerous, but yet so beautiful.
@thingone made a great find without killing an animal ;)
I love the thunderstorm photos, but I can't help - the golden sunset light makes the landscape look so pleasant and peaceful, that this is my number one here - you should have made a separate post of the last photos 😊
