One of those ‘whoa’ moments.

Kevin said the eerie blue brilliance just before a big storm reminds him of the saying, “The darkest hour is just before the dawn.” Because it’s the opposite, the otherworldly beauty that sometimes fills the calm before the storm contrasted with the deepest dark that inks its way toward the soon-to-break dawn.

I took this picture with my DroidX through the windshield of our van as Kevin was driving up Highway 29 and, believe it or not, it hasn’t been altered a bit. :-)
