Just before the Storm

Back Blip from Akaroa...

It is just a matter of moments after taking this shot the electrical storm hit.

Adam was going to stay and do some more painting but it started to rain just as he got up so he decided to go back to Christchurch. We had strong winds and heavy rain thought out the night. Felt like the house was going to get blown away. I was pleased to have someone with me overnight!

The day was warm and sunny and I got a lot more gardening done. The electrical storm we got early in the evening, just after taking this shot, was spectacle. It was so calm, then all of a sudden the wind blow up and then I could see the lightning over the hills. They must have been about 20 strikes and the thunder was deafening. There was heavy rain for about 5 minutes and with in a very shot time there were stars in the sky and no clouds anywhere.
