Storm Over Ringing Hill

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 14 August 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

For a period of about 40 minutes one evening last week, I watched in utter astonshiment as this amazing light slowly developed as a thunderstorm moved in and then cleared out. The sun was peaking through the clouds from the west while the thunderstorm was raging and then began to clear out to the east. Behind the storm were nice, cool temperatures and lower humidity. By the time I got home, a double rainbow greeted me over the orchard just up the road from my home. I could see nearly the entire rainbow. As pretty as it was, I found these storm clouds with only a hint of the remaining rainbows and that amazing light just a bit more interesting. Hopefully, you will, too.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
