i dont know why Bron but it reminds me of the Ghostbusters,the dark clouds loom when they spot a ghost...i like the contrast of the building to the very dark clouds

The title is really appropriate for this. It stands so bright despite the storm clouds.

@e.: It was quite stunning as I left the small brown building and looked back e - although the clouds were moving so quickly by the time I grabbed the camera I think I missed the peak drama!

@Tim: It was very dramatic Tim! Thanks for leaving a comment! cheers :)
@rainsocks: The sad news is no rainsocks - we need rain badly but often the clouds build and threaten, only to drop 15 large splashes then move on to the coast. :(
Thanks!
