As the cloud shelf (previous two images) continued to swallow that last light in the sky, I stopped for these horses. I jumped out and made some wide angle shots, but the first raindrops were making it difficult to keep my lens dry, so I retreated to my car, switched to a 50mm, and shot a few more from the driver's seat.
Five minutes later, the rain was pounding down so hard that with my wipers on high I could barely see the road. Fortunately home was only five minutes away.
The next morning instead of birdsong I listened to chain saws as a work crew cleared away downed trees. Power outages continued yesterday for the third day in a row. The power company replaced three poles that were damaged by falling trees or tree parts. All is calm now. Flip a switch, the light comes on. I feel nearly normal again.
