Magic Skies - Friday Night

The late afternoon thunderstorms that have come daily this summer sometimes create a magic canvas for the sun to paint on. When the sky is just right, the effect is otherworldly. These were snapped at a stop light at Floyd and Boulevard with me chomping at the bit to get out of traffic. The magic doesn't last long, but I managed to grab these few before the light faded.
