New York Thunderstorm. Beautiful.

"The city, with its towers and roofs and smoking chimneys, is outlined as a dark, sombre silhouette against a horizon of light. This light is, however, no more than a broad streak over which hangs a heavy raincloud, more concentrated below, torn above by the autumn wind into large shreds & lumps that are being chased away. But that streak of light is making the wet roofs glisten here & there in the dark mass of the city."

-Vincent Van Gogh, The Hague, Netherlands

insert car alarm...and welcome to New York.
