It was stormy weather across the Northern Rivers last week. Alex Clarke took this beauty after he and his partner Jasmine decided a change of scenery was in order after a long day at work. “We grabbed our cameras, headed west from Lismore towards the ominous clouds that were gradually blotting out the sun as it dipped towards the horizon,” he says. “We followed the backroads until we were confronted by this awesome spectacle of the core of a storm cell, as it began to unleash a torrent of rain.”
