WW #27 The Calm Before The Storm

These photos were taken at the Dead Sea from the Jordanian side. The mountains you see at the horizon are from the Palestine / Israel side. The first hour we were at the Dead Sea it was calm, clear skies and waters; and from the above photo you can faintly see the rain cloud and concentrated rainfall.

By the time the rain cloud got closer – my mate Sabs and I were just floating in awe staring at the formation moving towards us.  Everyone seemed to have run out of the water (why would you get out of water if it’s raining – you’re already wet !)

And when the rain hit us – it was almost painful – that’s how large the drops were – coming down hard and fast. 

It was awesome !! Quite literally – the calm before the storm.

Wow; those are really interesting photos that capture the storm and its travels. I'm sorry you got wet..but I know the feeling! It has been raining nonstop for several days here (and we've had tornadoes, too...) Anyway, I enjoyed looking at your photos and reading your captions. Thank you for stopping by my blog and for commenting. I appreciate your visit! Have a good WW!

the 2nd pic is one my fave pics from my trip to Jordan :)
That first pic is amazing - the blue so vibrant it looks unreal, the angle of the shot and the feeling of looking at the absolute end of the world.
What an experience to have.
