Good evening Storm Lovers, I hope you are well!
I'm on holidays at the moment so on Monday afternoon I headed out the Scenic Rim. I started out at Boonah, one of my favourite places to watch them cross the range. Storms weren't forecast to amount to much more than strong winds and some heavy rain but it had been a while between storms so I was excited to see what Mother Nature had in store for me!
With light steering winds I wasn't expecting epic structure but it was throwing a few visible lightning strikes and it looked interesting enough to get the camera out. It was blowing pretty hard as the whales mouth crossed over me, I nearly lost my Brisbane Lions 2024 premiership cap but I wasn't letting of my tripod which is considerably more expensive! 😂
It's an awesome feeling to be immersed in that kind of force and energy, you feel so alive!
Once the rain started to kick in I headed north to get back out in front of it. 15 minutes up the road in a freshly thoroughly rain washed car 😂I ended up pulling over north of Peak Crossing. With the wind still gusting and the rain hot on its tail I grabbed a few hand held shots including this one. I'll share some other shots later in the week.
It was a nice start to the holidays and, I got my hat back! 😂
Dan 😎
