Brisbane was amazing for storm clouds. Melbourne, hmmnnn, not so much, it tends to just go grey. We do have them occasionally, but nothing like Brisbane. I miss that about Brissie – those storms were amazing!
I’ve seen news footage of Brisbane storms; spectacular. I experienced something similar in Sydney once too. Incredibly intense, then over in about 30 minutes.
A forboding silence.

Difficult not to get metaphorical. It’s a beautiful spot; I’d never been there before.

With a cloud like that I bet it wasn’t silent for long.

True! When the rain came (frequently), it was incredibly heavy. Thank goodness for pubs and cafes to shelter in.

We were lucky to make the walk up to the memorial between rain bursts. ๐

Thanks; me too. I suspect we both live in good places for storm clouds. Think Melbourne might have the edge though. ๐

It was that sort of day! We drove through the worst rain we’d seen in years, but when it stopped, the air was clean and the world felt quite new.
