Ethereal rays from the heavens

Storms will come, skies will threaten, fear will descend on us all from above.

I’m guessing this is as true in everyday life as it is in everyday photography, which likely explains why I stand transfixed as the threatening clouds move toward me from the horizon.

It’s a moment born more out of curiosity than fear as the formations dance in the sky, leaving ample room for the sun to fight its way through, stubborn rays reaching down to the earth below.

If the skies were less chaotic, they probably wouldn’t be as memorable.

Skies. Life. They’re more similar than we might have once thought. So I take a few more frames before turning for home under the first fat drops of the coming storm.
