Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: before the rain

We have been having a lot more rain the last few days - the very last thing that was needed by the thousands of people who have been affected by the Flood of the Century that has been going on in Calgary and across southern Alberta, for just over two weeks now. One part of the city got flash floods a few evenings ago, but I'm really hoping that other areas have not been hit yet again by the rain this past week. Yesterday, I saw that the city of Toronto was flooded, too, not as seriously as Calgary, but still bad enough. Hopefully, this will be the end of it! Took this quick photo on 6 July 2013, when I was driving the backroads SW of Calgary, after spending the morning recording all the flora and fauna at the Leighton Art Centre. Sure enough, it was raining by the time I reached home.

This photo was taken on 25th July, on a hike along the Pocaterra Cirque trail, Kananaskis. Within a few minutes, the weather changed, the sun vanished from the valley and it poured with rain just after I took this photo. A beautiful place for a hike!
