Lolly Bottoms and Mamma clouds



In June there were a few storms that rolled through the Conway area that made for great photo opportunities. This particular evening, I was sitting on the couch and looked outside and saw that the light was perfect for taking pictures. I also saw a large gathering of mammatus clouds. Mike and I grabbed the camera and tripod and headed out the door. Lolly Bottoms is the future site of our airport we are getting soon, but for now, it's corn, soybeans and rice fields. We found this little access road the farmers use and at the end of the road was this loan tree. Above the fields the clouds were moving fast. We managed to get set up and fire off enough shots to capture a few really nice shots. The lighting in the pictures is the real deal. It was that strange color. The first shot of just the clouds was before the sun really started to set and the other was right as the sun was setting. It's my favorite conditions to shoot in, that light at the end of the day when a storm is moving in or out.

Lolly Bottoms is located off Hwy 286/Hwy 60W.
