After the Storm

The day ends after a round of storms on the Texas plains.

One of my favorite parts of being out on the chase is the time after storms have moved through. The smell of rain fills the air and there's a peacefulness in the air after being so turbulent just moments before.  In this scene from the Texas plains, mammatus clouds fill the sky over a freshly cut wheat field with golden light casting its glow on everything.  This scene reminds me a lot of the African Serengeti, not that I've ever been there but it's how I see it in my mind's eye...maybe because of the trees on the horizon, not sure.  Anyways, it's awesome scenery deep in the heart of Texas.
