Picture of the Day - Pine Mt. Storm Approach

Today I hiked Pine Mountain in Atascadero, CA. An El Nino-flavored storm was moving into the area at the time which made for an invigorating experience as I felt the storm's energy build in the atmosphere over the course of the walk. As those who follow this blog already know, one of my favorite things to do is to be out in the weather as a storm of any type approaches. I derive great inspiration and healing from feeling the atmosphere change and the power build as the winds pick up intensity and the sky lowers and more cloud texture becomes apparent.
