Description
💕💕A big shout out to the buyer in Henderson, Nevada, saying THANK YOU so much for purchasing a 60" x 40" Metal print (04/13/20)! I am gobSMACKED!💕💕
The Arizona Summer Monsoon season really hit hard in the month of July! This capture was the result of a super storm, moving Eastward in Tucson, Arizona. Unlike anything we had witnessed before. So amazing, to be able to capture all the EVER CHANGING, glorious, grandeur of this Summer Monsoon storm system at sundown!! Felt a bit like we were going to be featured on The Weather Channel's "Tornado Road"! Trying to catch that one amazing shot, but I was able to capture more than one great shot.
This photography in the series, was as though someone had set fire to the rain!

Amazing shot, very interesting and beautiful colors! l/f
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you, Jasna! Yes, Arizona does produce some gorgeous skies at sundown. Especially during the summer monsoon storms. I do not plan to be out in such weather again. I was taking a bit of a chance. I am glad you like it enough to choose it as one of your favorites. I really appreciate it!
Ro Wade
Beautifully vivid colors! Very nice work! :-)
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you so much, Ro. I can't take too much credit, as the Creator of all that is involved in the atmospheric conditions gives me the beauty. I have to be in the right place at the right time, take notice, and then be ready with my camera. It was a great summer that year, for MARVELoUS monsoon storms, producing gorgeous sunsets.

Viva! How wonderful for you to grace me with your presence. Sharing your beautiful thoughts, as always. My most viewed image. It hangs in "Janet's Retreat" my decompression place for solitude. It looks wonderful as an acrylic print. It was a one of a kind moment, as I plan never to be out in such a storm again. Arizona puts on these displays of splendor, one just has to take notice, so as to capture such a moment. Thank you for taking the time to visit my surreal sunset collection. It means a lot!
