Storm season

This time of year is storm season in Calgary. The usual pattern is a morning with clear skies, becoming warm to hot into the afternoon, as the clouds slowly gather. Then there might be some rain or a thunderstorm during late afternoon to early evening, then a nice evening. 

These storms can be quite localized, and there are people who like chasing them. I can see the attraction, some of the cloudscapes are amazing. Get too close, or zig when you should have zagged while careening down gravel roads, and you might have a big problem.

Last night, just before sunset Linda was outside tending her garden and told me there was a lovely cloud off to the east. I grabbed the camera.
