A rare morning thunderstorm, currently over the City of Boulder, creates some amazing contrast in the sky as partly cloudy skies dominate to the east over the plains. Under the unusual skies, we find the westbound Zephyr making its way west along the south leg of Big Ten Curve, just east of Eisele (Clay).

Thanks Ken. That morning storm was quite unusual. But sure set up for some dramatic scenes.
