The past couple of days I have shown you the awesome beauty of summer storms in Lubbock.

I have failed to show what happens when you combine an awesome storm with the sunsets of West Texas.

Taking a picture like this almost feels like cheating, it takes little effort to show off the colors the sky can turn right as the streetlights begin to turn on.

I did go storm chasing today, however it was walking outside to check the mail at my apartment complex when I saw this and realized I did not go storm chasing for long enough tonight and headed home early.

Right now, however I do not have a ton of free time. After work, I have committed myself to career research and studying. I am moving to San Antonio in August and I am planning on attending grad school.

Alongside grad school, I am looking for a new job, since I will have to leave my current job at the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.

If you know of any opportunities in the San Antonio area, let me know!

Tonight some storms came in to town, and I decided to grab my camera and run outside of town to see the sunset.

About two miles outside of town, I decided to turn down a dirt road, looking for the perfect spot to sit and wait.

I started taking some pictures of this pump while I was waiting, and this shot I really liked. I wanted my shot for tonight to sum up West Texas, and I think this does a pretty good job.

While I was shooting this, the wind picked up on me, and I got hit by a fast gust of wind. Unfortunately, I was not on the best footing when I was shooting, so down I went.

According to the weather, during this storm we were getting wind speeds up to 60 mph. and I felt it.
