The month of April often draws thunderstorms and sudden squalls to western Washington, drenching the landscape and drawing away in a very short time. The primary driver is the rise temperatures in the western Washington as the days become longer. Regardless of the reason, the onset of this weather pattern paints the skies with dramatic clouds and lighting that lend themselves well to photography.
Out in the Palouse region, I caught the tail end of a spring thunderstorm. This composition juxtaposing windmills on a rolling green landscape against the dark ominous background worked very well with the angled lighting of the late afternoon.
