I usually take pictures of the weather from the other side of the building. But Mother Nature decided this evening's show would take place here instead.

That's fine by me. I always enjoy a good light show regardless of where it's held.

I usually take most of my weather pics on the "shop" side of the parking lot. But on this evening, the show took place on the "rental" side.

I pointed the camera and started shooting.

I stitched the previous two pics together to create a panorama that looks southeast.

I found the color contrast between the various cloud layers quite beautiful.

The colors appeared as the sun set.

The contrasting colors of the different cloud layers were visible to the east.

I tried to take a few pics to stitch together.

This time, I tried a portrait shot instead of a landscape shot.

The resulting 3-picture panorama looks ok, but is a bit sketchy on the left side.

Dark clouds filled the sky in the other direction.

The photos above and below look to the northwest.

I turned my attention back to the east.

I spotted one small colorful cloud to the north.

The photo above appears to show a dark layer of clouds below a colorful layer thanks to sunset in that direction.

I still had great color to the east.

I headed to the center of the parking lot where the view was unobstructed.

The dark clouds were approaching from the west.

I always enjoy a good light show from Mother Nature. Thankfully, the dark clouds behaved themselves and didn't threaten my ride home.
