Valley of the Gods Thunderstorm

Rain and thunderstorms drop plenty of rain to a much needed desert in Valley of the Gods northeast of Mexican Hat, Utah

Every now and then I like to clean out my archives, which either means removing images that aren’t up to my standards, or redoing an image that just never seemed to pop like it should.

Such was the case with this image of a thunderstorm over Sugarloaf Mountain in Valley of the Gods in southern Utah. I had always liked this image, but it never really had much going for it. Well turns out when I originally uploaded it I did a minimal amount of processing to it. In the last couple of days I noticed it again and gave it the proper attention it needed and now am really happy seeing this image in the way I remember it looking when I took it back in 2008. It’s images like these that have me yearning to get back down to the desert soon.
