The shelf cloud of a fast moving thunderstorm, photographed yesterday in a restored oak savanna in the Allegan forest. The storm rolled in quickly and the downpour was not far behind this cloud.

A little pull-over in the Allegan Forest. There is a small parking area carved into the woods, with a gated-off two track leading back to several large fields, one of which has a handful of crumbling foundation slabs from some sort of long gone building complex. Earlier this week on a snowy day a shaft of sunlight emerged, hitting just the road with direct light, while I stood a few yards off in the shadow. Well, thankfully I had an old twin lens reflex camera with me....
