Moody Thunderstorm.

Mar 11, 2023
A moody storm tonight. 

This evening I was driving back to Umhlanga from Ballito, watching a thunderstorm with clouds lighting up from hidden lightning in every direction. I couldn't see any strikes, but I kept looking. As I got close to my home, I saw a strike over the ocean, so I decided to try my luck and see if I could capture any lightning. I headed down to Bronze Beach in Umhlanga Rocks. 

The air was thick and heavy with humidity, with a strong wind blowing which was a welcome reprieve from the heat. The ocean was moving with the wind as the waves made their way to the shore at an angle. The lightning was far out over the ocean, but the display above the lightning was a sight to behold. 
Every time the lightning struck, it would light up the moody clouds in the sky which were beautiful with their shapes and contrasts. The distant thunder rumbling in over the always constant ocean rumble.

Eventually the rain came, and I made my way home to see what I captured... I hope that you like the photo...

This is a composite image created from some of the images that I captured, which have then been overlayed to create the single image.

South Africa has the most incredible beauty, and her storms are awesome. Keep looking for the beauty. It's there...

I am Proudly South African.
