literally stops you dead in your tracks. Especially when you least expect it
We were out on a little jaunt over the moors last night from Rammy. Normal route, with a lot of cheek thrown in. Standard Thursday night fare, really. The weather was looking like it was getting… ahem… a tad ‘interesting’, but somehow we were still bathed in a band of sunshine. As we got to the top of Pilgrims Cross…. Blimey
We looked over to the wind turbines on Scout Moor (which is a pretty dramatic view anyway) and the sky behind them was black as tar, The turbines picked out in contrasting bright white. It was clearly lashing down. There were not one, but two rainbows emerging from the gloom. It looked like the end of the world, with some colourful bits thrown in as some kind of divine joke.
Then to top it all the fork lightning started crackling away from within the blackness, with the thunder rolling across the valley. We just sat at the top and took it all in. Amazing!
Anyway, just thought I’d share. Going out on your bike at night is bloody great innit? 😀
Any recent examples from the STW massive….. ?
