After the rain had passed I stepped out to take more photos. Talk about a cloud as black as night! As the storm that had passed over us retreated, a brief glimpse of the sun lit up the gold on the pagodas at the Wat Phra Kaew and threw the scene into dramatic contrast with the stormy skies.
I usually try to capture at least three views of a scene: the overview, a vignette and a detail view. Yesterday’s shot was the overview – a wide, all encompassing view, typically taken with a wide angle lens. Today’s shot is the vignette.
I’d only been in Brunei a few days when the Rasau 17 well blew out. The escaping gas caught fire on April 25, 1989 which puts a date on this image.
In this case a storm rolls by to our north with lightning forks illuminating the surrounding skies. You can even see a lightning trail within the cloud. Off in the top left corner, the moon attempts to shine through the clouds.
