Purple rain, Brisbane QLDPurple rain The storm came in from the west and passed us just before sunset. As the clouds near the hinterland broke open, so did the colour, illuminating the clouds. Like many of you, I often sit and stare at the clouds, looking for different shapes and patters, letting my mind wander. What do you see? This photograph is a 1: 1 ratio (square) and looks incredible LARGE.
