It's one of my favorite occurrences, when the sun illuminates one side of a farm, making the dark storm clouds seem even darker in the background. I drive to and from work through Iowa farmland, and I see this phenomena often - and always wish I had a good camera with me. Great photo!

All the photos were good this month.
