Götterdämmerung


On Saturday evening, it was like Götterdämmerung or 'Twilight of the Gods' above the palace before torrential rain came down for a few minutes...
Samedi soir avant le violent orage, c'était comme le crépuscule des Dieux devant le château...

  1. Serendipity! I love these kinds of shots...so dramatic.

    Rather like the heavens are exploding!

    Have a great week!

  5. Un tres beau ciel d'orage avec ces rayons. On reconnait les silhouettes de l'exposition Bernar Venet dont tes photos du 3 juin sont superbes.

    Gorgeous sky. I expect to see a chariot with white horses coming out of the brightness. Nice music too :)

  8. Lucky you, I wish we would get rain but I wish that rain would fall on the fires in Arizona. I feel for the people evacuated because of it.

  18. Your first shot is wonderful, Ciel. I know that you have been worried about the absence of rain recently, so I am glad it finally came.

  19. It seems the Gods are angry, a terrible storm caused a lot of damage in Beja, a city in the south, yesterday... Actually it looks like someone moved this country into the tropics! Great capture, Ciel.
