Description
I love the Arizona Sonoran Desert, Summer Monsoon Rainy Season, because it means FABULOUS, MASSIVE CLOUDS. I love clouds in all their stages.
We are getting huge rainstorms with not only amazing cloud formations at sunset, but surreal atmospheric phenomenon. On the left side is a downpour sweeping across the scenery and the sun going down on the right. Creating wonderful backlighting against the white clouds and fabulous VIVID BLUE sky beyond the storm clouds.
It is, a most exhilarating experience to be out photographing the power and beauty of these storms. As it makes a vivid impression on me, I call it "Monsoon Majesty!"

Revisiting this gorgeous capture of a rainstorm over the Sonoran Desert! l/f/tw
Janet Marie replied:
Sandra! I am so glad that you liked it enough to revisit. Thank you for your wonderful words expressed. I really appreciate it. How often can one side of an image have a downpour and the other side the sun is going down. Only in Arizona I think. Summer monsoon season is awesome for me. I appreciate the fave and Tweet.

What an unusual and gorgeous sky.
Janet Marie replied:
Nikolyn! Thank you for taking the time to visit my gallery to share such a wonderful comment about this. I really appreciate it! I never get tired of the phenomenal monsoon skies at sundown. Looks like we are getting some great monsoon weather finally now in 2021, as 2029 was a wash (no pun intented).
Hanne Lore Koehler
What a spectacular capture, Janet! Breathtaking light and color! Genius drama and composition! L/F/T/FB
Janet Marie replied:
Hanne! How wonderful of you to stop by my gallery and share your lovely thoughts about my photography. It was an extraordinary moment to witness it raining on one side and the sun setting on the other side, and to have theses spectacular clouds that only Arizona shares in our summer monsoon season. Thank you for sharing this on Twitter and Facebook. I really appreciate that. Janet đź’•

Rudolf Volkmann
A fine photographer chases the fortuitous moments. You just did that!!
Janet Marie replied:
Sunset moments during our monsoon summers, can't be anything but fortuitous (I like that word by the way). That is what makes it never a perfunctory task. From day to day, it's a beautiful surprise. I just have to be there to capture those moments. I means what is the odds that it would be raining on one side of the image, and the sun beaming as it goes down, on the other side of the image. Sometimes I forget what phenomenal beauty I have experienced. Thank you Rudolf for your wonderful, well expressed comment. I really appreciate!
