Photographer’s Note
Some years ago I was driving in northeast New Mexico along a remote highway when an incredibly ugly, dangerous storm rose up to the east, heading my way. This wall cloud almost looked Satanic it was so scary. I'm sure it spawned a tornado behind it somewhere. For this shot, I stopped my car an took a few photos with a film camera. Lightening was shooting across the sky and I didn't want to take a chance of staying there (metal camera, not good!) and trying to get a shot with lightening. It was just too dangerous. I quickly drove off and headed west into Arizona. The next day the storm had caught up with me and turned into a major blizzard that shut down the whole Southwest.

Hello Ted,
That is one ugly storm heading your way for sure!!
Nice note to it, giving me an insight in what this photograph is about. I added a a workshop to make it look a slight bit more dramatic. But I like your version as well.
Greetings,
Dennis
