Tempest

Tempest

Eating dinner with my family, we watched this storm suddenly emerge from behind the nearby ranges. By the time I grabbed my gear and ran to the car, the light and atmosphere had eerily shifted, as the wind picked up and thunder began to echo around the valley walls. Setting up by these lupin and gazing up at this cloud, I began to question my decision to be outdoors, so exposed to the violence that was about to ensue. I soon ran back to shelter as hail, lightning and strong winds made their way on shore. I was filled with mixed emotions of joy and fear and could do nothing but laugh at the power of such an event, something that really reminded me how futile we humans are. In the morning all the lupin in this location we obliterated, lying sideways and scattered in every direction.
