Thunderstorm at Grand Teton National Park

The weather changed dramatically in about 1 hour (about 5 o'clock). I grabbed my camera and drove out to Antelope Flats, the Mormon Row and around Kelly, WY.

It was raining in every direction, but I was out taking pictures and never got wet! Lots of lightning, bursts of rain, crazy clouds, wind -- it was great! So I was able to incorporate two things that I love about the west: wildflowers and crazy weather.

And,  2 hours later, the sun was out and blue skies covered the mountains!

Bear with me, there are a few pictures.

Looking south towards Jackson

The Grand Teton buried in clouds and rain.

It is absolutely POURING about 500 yards away.
>>This is becoming my new style... get low and add foreground. When compared to just standing up and taking a picture, this view can be more dramatic.<<

More clouds, more rain

You can see the downbursts of rain

Dark and foreboding

The entire valley over looking the Gros Ventre River (something weird happened to the image.)
