Description
ONE OF MY SOLD IMAGES, AVAILABLE AGAIN
Gulf Coast sunrise with nimbus clouds, and intense pinks and blues. Shot inland, in west Houston, right after the welcome rains came through and brought hope for long-term relief from the Texas drought. A little noise was purposefully left in order to achieve the desired effect. Image was taken in November 2011.
Though the area continued to struggle with insufficient rainfall, a little rain is always better than none. In the fall of 2013, the Texas drought was declared by meteorologists to be officially over. Enough rain had fallen in 2013 to bring Texas back to its normal levels of precipitation.

My thanks to this morning's buyer from Altus, Oklahoma. May you enjoy your 10.5" x 14" print for many years to come. Oklahoma has shared much drought pain alongside Texas, so may this picture be a special blessing.
Houston, TX - United States
No, Delilah,I had not heard that. But it's not hard to believe, given all the losses and hardship. We were all looking for some hope, and on the morning this image was shot in Houston, we finally had a glimmer of hope. Beautiful!
Round Top, TX - United States
Ah, Houston--yes, that does make sense. Houston and the Dallas area did get more rain, probably enough to recover from the drought, unlike 75 percent of the state. Did you know it was officially rated a worse drought than even the one during the Dust Bowl? Oh, well--this is still a gorgeous image. Here's to more rain for all of us!
Houston, TX - United States
So glad you like this image, Delilah. I simply passed along information heard in Houston. It's quite possible we have had more rain here than in Round Top, given the distance between the two. It is also quite possible that you are technically correct, and that even experts can differ.
Round Top, TX - United States
Love this image, Laura! However . . . I must take exception to your comment that enough rain fell in the fall of 2013 to cause the meteorologists to proclaim the drought as being officially over. They did not. As a matter of fact, we are still in the grip of that drought, and have been ever since the beginning of 2010. Austin climatologists said only last month that we would need a good rain once a week EVERY week for the next 6 months to erase the drought, and as he said, we know that isn't going to happen. (Although hopes are high for a El Nino-induced rainy fall, winter and spring for 2014-15.) I hate to be argumentative at the same time I compliment such a lovely piece of art, but I simply could not let this piece of misinformation pass. So sorry!
Houston, TX - United States
Thank you, Laura. The losses have been staggering, but we're in much better shape this year--and everyone's hoping it will continue. You won't hear anyone complain here about a rainy day!
Houston, TX - United States
Thanks, jrr! When I saw this amazing sky, I had a feeling it meant the Texas drought was over--though it was forecast to last through 2012. So far, so good. And that, for Texans, is indeed beautiful.

Love the muted colors in this one, Connie.
Connie Fox replied:
Mary, I'm delighted that you like these colors. Me too. Frankly I was so surprised to find your kind comment, and a second one, within an hour of posting it! Thanks so much. You made my day.

Connie Fox replied:
Allen, I share your passion for the sky. After so much suffering in Texas (drought, fires, two thousand homes destroyed, and the loss of several individuals), this sky was one of the most beautiful sights I had ever seen. I so appreciate your comment, including the enthusiasm behind it.
