I can almost imagine a great wizard sitting atop his throne, controlling the weather with his wand like a conductor of the skies.  This evening will forever be in my memory as it was a spectacular showing of the grand beauty mother nature can put on. The storm came through with a fierce torrential rain, breaking just in time for the sun to light up the voluminous purple clouds.  Initially I used a 10 stop ND to completely remove the cars from the scene, but as the sunset and the lights of cars came on, I chose to include them instead.
