Storm over Castle Hill Aug 17th 019

             I'd been taking photos in Spring Wood at Netherton when I got caught in rain. I was fairly well sheltered in the woods and the pickup wasn't far away but I legged it back just in the nick of time. The light was strange and I could tell that something was afoot. I drove up the road and saw a rainbow forming, created by the setting sun. A single cloud was moving across from the west right in front of me also lit by the sun. You could see the rain just falling out of the cloud, it looked fantastic. I grabbed some photos from the pickup but I decided I needed a better viewpoint-and fast! I shot up to South Crosland, knowing I would still have Castle Hill adding a focal point to the shots. Eventually the rain was bouncing down on me, I parked next to the wall and shot through the open window. Luckily I had two cameras with me one with a 24-105mm and one with my 17mm TSE that I'd been using in the woods. I took loads of shots as the cloud passed slowly across with the colour changing as the sun lowered. the sky at either side of the rain cloud was blue. The grazing cows just ignored it all and carried on munching grass.
