Thunder and Lightning

One year while we were staying on Pawleys Island, one of the typical summer thunder storms came up in the afternoon. I grabbed the camera, went out on the dock, and took some pictures of the storm. There were two  photographs that I really liked. Looking straight out from the dock and toward the ocean, you can see the heavy thunder clouds as they pass by just off the coast.

I turned to my left to look up the beach and captured this shot. If I had been trying to get this shot, it never would have happened! Nature is beautiful even when she is quite destructive.
