The sun will out

The above was taken at the end of a storm. The sun was pushing through, and though it wasn't directly visible, its affects were streaming all through the sky.

Click on the image for a (rather large) full-sized version.

Addendum: Based on the comments, I guess I should clarify: I took this photo. Though no one has asked, there was minimal postprocessing of the image. I cropped it for effect, removed the noise from the camera's JPG encoding process, and expanded the dynamic range (0-255, instead of the camera's best try resulting in an approximately 220 max -- due to the exposure time, I think. This gets the image closer to what the human eye will see). I'm happy with this shot.

Did you take that picture ?

Yeah, I did; I guess I should have mentioned that. I was getting into my car after visiting the hardware guys in Orcutt, that I work with from time to time, and saw the shot. It's fun to carry a camera with you all the time :-).

Nice shot. I assumed it was professional, but didn't know it was professional g00ber.
