We have finally received some better moisture intrusions into the Albuquerque area, and as a result we’ve had isolated afternoon thunderstorms over the past few days. For the most part, storms have been short-lived and unfavorably located (just a few sprinkles here at the house), but a “monsoon pattern” will hopefully take over before too long. I haven’t had much opportunity for any lightning photography yet, due to all of the overtime I have been working lately. I finally had today off, and was busy doing other errands when Margie let me know there was a nice double rainbow outside. So, I snapped a few quick shots from the front yard.
Looking to the west I captured a partially hidden sun behind remnant cloud debris from dissipated storms with crepuscular rays diverging outward.
