This is the little country church I serve about 70 miles north of St. Louis in Barnett, Illinois. As I drove north this past Sunday I could see the cold front moving in out of the west. When I arrived there was still a sliver of blue sky to the east providing some nice light. I caught this shot just before the rain started falling.
Great work! Yes - sometimes it's amazing how the weather can change the situation in minutes and turn a photo into something dramatic. Wys

It is a beautiful church and an amazing photo. The clouds are fantastic. I guess you were lucky it was rain -- from what I've been hearing it's really cold there! By the way, I'm moving to a little town about 100 miles from you (near Mt Sterling). Hi neighbor!!

Great capture. I love the menacing grey clouds and the bare trees behind the church.

Neat looking shot! Definitely looks like a storm was brewing!

Nice shot of the gathering storm - and somehow the church building adds to the foreboding atmosphere.

I think the turbulent sky above this simple church building is a powerful reminder of the spiritual turbulence in the world, and the peace which is still ours... that passes all understanding.

When I saw this I was anticipating thunder and lightning to strike. It's quite dramatic.
