Storm Light

 

untitled-53

Beards Hollow

Today could best described as blustery.  One minute the wind was blowing the rain sideways, then thirty minutes later it was calm with patches of sunshine.  During one of the calm periods, I made a trip to Beards Hollow, which is located on the Washington coast.  I spent an hour photographing the wetlands and the bluffs overlooking the ocean with little success.  As the sky off to the west began to threaten rain, I began the mile hike back to my truck.  As I turned to leave, I noticed the last of the sunshine as it lit up the dunes and beach grass.  Despite getting wet, the adventure was well worth it!

There's just something very special about that storm light. It certainly made it worth the visit.

Paul, I agree, storm light is the best.

I am envious of those who live near the coasts. I would probably be out the rainy stuff all the time for photos.

Monte, most of the time it's so nasty you don't want to be out in it!

I was thinking the same thing monstev said... I'd never want to go inside. But getting wet and blown away wouldn't be much fun. Beautiful picture as always.

Deanna, getting wet gets old after a while.

This photo really captures the mood - part electric, exhilarating, part threatening, and just a bit on the wild side!
