Accentuated Evening Skies On July 7

Trying to get a better view of a what a small and non-severe storm cell located 55 miles to the northeast had to offer visually, this brilliant sky appeared while on C Avenue at Echo Hill Road, just north of Marion, Iowa. Time and date: 8:46 pm CDT, Thursday, July 7, 2016.

This view from the Pioneer Hi-Bred International facility on North Alburnett Road about .3-mile north of County Home Road provided a much more open look to the cell. The storm cell was located in Clayton County, about 2 miles southwest of the town of Garnavillo. Image looks northeast at 8:52 pm. Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.
