For a moment - everything stops. Time stands still.

I feel nothing but the beating of my heart. I hear nothing but the sound of my breath. Feet are rooted. Eyes are focused - seeing all....and seeing only this.

A blurr of hazey heat. Ominous dark clouds gathering. A distant rumble of thunder. I know - my time is short here. Either I'm going to capture this image..or - I'm not.

I follow closely...carefully with my camera's lens. I dare not look away. I might miss it.

Click. The sound of my shutter.

And - this is the moment that I caught.
