Skywatch Friday: Good Night, Topsail
On our last night on Topsail. a storm came that ran the length of the island and sat heavily over us. There was a lot less cloud of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic. Not much came of it beyond a little noise and early darkness. A drama queen of a storm.
The drama is spectacular to look at!
ReplyDeleteI like that phrasing"drama queen of a storm." Ü
ReplyDeleteIt may have been a drama queen of a storm, but at least it gave you a very dramatic picture.

ReplyDeleteThe tension is palpable .. really nice capture, Sandy
ReplyDeleteWell, that looks like a pretty spectacular storm, Sandy - and I wouldn't have wanted to be out at sea when it hit!
ReplyDeleteJanice.
Regardless of the storm, your photo is dramatic and powerful -- actually, I'm glad it is your photo that's powerful and that the storm was harmless! Lots safer that way!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteThrough Squirrel Eyes
Sandy, sometimes the vision is a blessing rather than copping the whole force of the storm.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a scaty movie
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful shot. The sky has such passion.
ReplyDeletewe had a storm roll through this morning; what a relief to the heat it was.
