The Sky Was Ablaze.........

 The sky was ablaze as a storm front moves in from the north, the distant sound of thunder announcing the coming rains.
 The scent of rain drifts in the air, the atmosphere changing as the ominous dark clouds draw nearer. 
 Laying on my back watching the parade of billowy clouds float overhead, the warm wind blowing the  prayer flags releasing their invocations to the Universe. 
 I always appreciate the calm before a storm, I find the promise of a cleansing downpour so therapeutic, a time where all is absolved by the purifying waters of heaven..................

Fab shots of the threatening clouds, but will the rain EVER come!!! I would just love a heavy downpour, but I have serious doubts that it will happen, what do you think?

It poured for hours here Gracie, where I live it seems we get a lot more rain than the rest of Perth.

Your photographs, writing, and the artwork you display are always a balm for the heart.
