Sun-Dog and Thunder.

The heat of a Hawke's Bay summer produced this spectacular thunder head on January 3, 2004. The anvil stretched out a remarkably long way in the prevailing westerly wind. As the sun lowered itself into some distant cloud, a sun-dog appeared beneath the anvil, and for a while, was almost as bright as the sun itself. Photo details: Minolta camera, 1/500th second exposure with a 28mm lens @ f-2.8, Kodak Elitechrome 200 slide film.
