We got a nice storm this week, so I headed out a road I’ve only explored a little, to get some new views. Nature responded by putting up a huge spotlight to…something. Alas, I couldn’t see the spot, so I don’t know what the message was, other than storms are beautiful, of course.

A huge mountain range covered by foreboding clouds looms over a broad valley. A gap in the clouds lets a thick ray of sunlight through on to the valley floor, but a hill full of Pinyon in the foreground blocks the view to the end of the spotlight beam.
