Big Texas Sky

Swiftly passing clouds move across the southern sky in this view from Alvin Drive in Kerrville, Texas around 7:10 PM, Monday, November 21, 2011. Thicker clouds brought heavy rain and some lightning several hours later, a welcome occurrence for a state which had experienced very dry conditions for months. The dark shrubs at center are cedars and at right foreground is a century plant. This was a six-second exposure at f/4, 1600 ISO and a focal length of 22mm.
