Impressive; reminds me, I must visit Africa one day in the rainy season....

Very nice! Reminds me of monsoon in south east Asia.

For drama and raw emotion, nothing beats a thundershower on the African plains.
This photograph captures all this and more.
Thank you
Charles.

Jaap - you must go!

Mike -

Very effective to have the land just a small slice of the image, and the sky looming so threateningly.

Beautiful, threatening, rather apocalyptic shot...I like the way the ochre colours in the sky are echoed by the thin strip of darker ochre at the base. very impressive.

Thank you everyone for the positive comments I really appreciate it. This turned out to be quite a storm by nightfall and dumped some very much needed rain on us!

Wow! It's a photo like this that makes me want to shoot nature instead of seeking out faces in a crowd. Beautiful presentation, and as above, it'd make a great print.

We can almost feel the storm..
Great shot Mile.
