an incredible monsoon sky (8/28)

From my balcony (facing west) at dusk, 3 things were happening in the wide open sky at once... straight ahead in the center, due west, is a full ball of sun sitting just above the horizon, lying below a distinct horizontal line of grey clouds with rain showers streaking through the bright red sunset colors. To the north is blue sky and white puffy clouds rising above the mountains; and to the south is dark clouds producing a line of rain with vivid lightening that spread across the sky from top to bottom with a constant roll of thunder to fill my ears. There is a pleasant cool desert wind. It is beautiful to see monsoon from my chair on the balcony.
