Storm Cell at Sunset

Beautiful.

I don't want to cover this beautiful pic! I love how the sun looks like its pouring down to earth. =D

love this part.

Wonderfull rocks !.

The storm came in from the south. With lightning flashes and thunder rolling, we decided it would be a good idea to get off this hill top.

Thanks for uploading the original size. I'm using it for my 24" and 19" dual monitor setup. Looks great.

You're other photos look awesome too. I'm gonna save you for later when I need a different background.
