Summer storm in Santa Fe

Summer storm in Santa Fe, August 2007

Last summer I had the pleasure to go the Santa Fe opera. While I am not a huge opera fan, the setting is amazing. While we waited for the opera to begin, a summer storm rolled through just at sunset.

The sunset lit the storm clouds from the side, creating vivid colors. These photographs are unmodified, straight out of the camera.

The colors of the sky in New Mexico are truly spectacular. Every day is different and the colors change throughout the day. This storm took that sunlight and created myriad palettes of colors. The first image is the storm itself as it came by. In the second image, the sun had set and the storm had passed into the north. Finally, I turned around and took a photograph of the sunset itself.

Enjoy!
