Clearing Storm and Sunset [Canon 5D]
Lake Megunticook, Maine August 16, 2008

This was taken at a friend and former workshop student's house on the shores of Lake Megunticook near Camden, Maine. When I arrived the sky was dark with thunderclouds, the wind was restless and every so often a scattering of rain drops would shower us. It looked certain that the clouds would open up at any moment for a serious deluge and we were waiting to abandon the deck for the living room. But then the storm began to clear, and as it did the setting sun shone across the still waters of the lake, creating this beautiful scene.
The last time I had visited with Amy nearly a year ago, an amazing combination of a distant lightining storm, clear skies and a full moon over Penobscot Bay also enahnced the evening, as you can see in this image. Coincidentally, on this night at Lake Megunticook there was also a full moon, but it did not rise until later in the evening and in a different part of the sky.
