Galen Rowell wrote a book called "mountain light - in search of the dynamic landscape." Every now and then I am reminded by amazing photos that I do not live in Peru or Colorado. I live in a state with a max elevation of 800ft above sea level. So, without the valleys and peaks that seem to dominate outdoor landscape photography, I forget sometimes that everyday something amazing can happen.

As it was today. A major storm just came through the Northeast and while I was working on a project indoors the light outside was becoming very dramatic and eerie. If I had noticed earlier I probably could have made something of it. As it was, all I could do was grab Amie and stand outside for a minute of snapshots.

Next time. I've been indoors far too much this summer.
