Brewing Up a Storm

I took this photo yesterday from the dog park next to the ferry terminal in Alameda.  We finally have some rain after over a month without a drop during what should be the wettest time of year.  It's a pineapple express storm, meaning it's one that's blowing in from the direction of Hawaii.  It was unbelievably warm last night, which fits the profile of this type of storm.  Hopefully we get a few more and can build up a snow pack in the Sierras.

I like the way the dark clouds seem to trace the outline of the bridge and cranes.  It's pure luck for me to have captured that.  I was shooting because the sun had found a crack in the clouds and was lighting the ships up nicely.
