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.

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.
