I was reluctant to post this pic on DA as I thought the quality was lacking.
DA Aidan, *Wodewose, kind of insisted that I do it. Well, here it is Aidan, after that Anglo Saxon expression you used, you convinced me. I captured this pic from Sunset Beach on Sunday night 10 April 2005 at 20h28. A freak storm of note had hit Cape Town, conditions were so appalling that the use of my tripod was impossible, hence the poor quality pic. If you refer to my earlier submission, Table Mountain at Night, you’ll see the flood lights lighting up the mountain. These same flood lights can be seen in this storm pic just below the cloud covering Table Mountain. There are 5 flood lights visible. This cloud cover, referred to locally as the Cape Doctor, usually occurs in our spring & summer months, September through to January, brought about by the South East wind. The North Westerly is normally our rain & storm bearing prevailing winter wind . I forwarded this pic to our local newspapers and radio station KFM 94,5. DJ Nic Marais of KFM, posted the pic on their website [link] he obviously thought it was good enough as well. Thanks Nic Thanks Aidan |

I still can't believe you weren't absolutely thrilled with it in the first place. It is quite simply the best and most dramatic weather pic I have ever seen. I've seen a lot - and I mean a lot of photos on dA since I joined, including a high number of very good ones, but nothing better than this.
Now I need to look into how you go about recommending something for Deviation of the Day.
