Thunder heads over Tsavo. For some reason the storms I see here always seem to be incredibly strong. They appear like a dark purple blotch on the horizon and spread like a bruise till they cover the sky and when the rain falls if come with an intensity that hard to believe. If you are in the open it can feel hard to breathe the air is so filled with water and it falls faster the ground can suck it in and drain away till the water rises above your ankles and it seems you are standing in a lake. As quick as it come it then gone and the blazing equatorial sun bakes the ground dry again.
