Mammatus storm clouds loom over the Albuquerque Airport. Fall in the high desert sees massive thunderstorms roll across the landscape in the early evenings. A lone corporate jet sat on the tarmac as the storm passed. Just as the rain stopped, I ran out onto the ramp to catch this photo in the few moments where the last of the sunlight illuminated the cumulus clouds above and the lights of the airport had just been turned on. My camera was on a tripod under shelter capturing a time lapse of the entire storm, so I quickly grabbed a friend’s Nikon D750 before scurrying out onto the wet pavement.
