Wow, johngpt! Great capture on that light hitting the virga (rainfall that evaporates before in reaches the ground) and wonderfully textured mountains. Me likey! :thumbup:

LOL, not many folks outside the arid southwest know the term virga!

Thanks sojourn.

Thanks sojourn.

Perhaps that is because I live in a part of northern California that sees its fair share of drought...and while virga is lovely, it is just a tease. I am also an avid atmospheric phenomena photographer and I love to know the name of what I see. I have far more catagories in my photo catalog for 'sky stuff' than anything else.

From last week. Pretty good amount of flooding right behind my apartment building...

LOL, this goes beyond rain rain rain, to being appropriate for the water thread. Do we have a Noah thread?

Rain? Does fake rain count? I shot this with my sprinkler. Sun shining through the water but my GF holding a reflector pointing the light back onto the table.
