Atlanta photographer Shane Durrance broke out the camera and the rain gear again last night.  He captured some impressive and haunting pictures of the Atlanta skyline covered with a blanket of clouds and streaked with lightning.

The images amazingly capture the beauty and power of nature.

I first became aware of Shane’s work when he e-mailed his amazing picture of the Atlanta tornado to 11Alive.

Shane was the only person (that I know of) who was able to actually capture an image of the tornado as it ripped through Downtown Atlanta on March 14th, 2008.  He says he was just in the right place at the right time.

If you’re interested, Shane sells prints of that Atlanta Tornado picture on his website.
