Sunset Thunderstorm over London

London can have some scary skies. Sometimes scary blue skies. London also has sunsets and although sunsets are good, you rarely get them with the scary blue skies.

I was eating steak at home when the thunderstorm started. I took some photos out the window and then thought, what the hell, let's venture out. I grabbed my camera bag and raced to Primrose Hill go get either the sunset or some lightning. Sadly I didn't get either, but this is the best I could do.

The clouds look more cloudy when viewed large (Press L). Press F to make this bad boy a favourite. You know you want to. All views, comments and favourites much appreciated.

This will be my last photo until after Prague (Praha). See you in a few days!

    That is one insane sky. Looks like the Apocalypse is coming...or an alien shuttle is about to erupt out of that sky. Surreal. Great shot!
