Summertime storm over Pinnacle Mountain

Taken with a Canon 1D MKIV, 20mp camera.  Image taken in 6 vertical segments and then stitched together in Lightoom. 

The view of western Pulaski County, Arkansas is a wonderful one.  Here you can see Pinnacle mountain and the Mamuelle Pinnacles stretched out towards the west and Lake Mamuelle off to the right.  This is the beginning of Ouachita mountains, in the central park of Arkansas.  I love to go out and catch a storm rolling in from the west.  This particular one had an amazing play of light, from almost pure dark black to the blue of the sky to the far right.  I was lucky to get this shot before the wind came in and within 10 minutes of taking the shot, lightening and high wind forced me to leave the spot and take cover.

Enjoy the area, Pinnacle Mountain State Park.
