A Rainy Summer Day Hike at the Al Shawkha Trail, Ras Al Khaimah

 

Thick, dark clouds blanketing the Al Hajjar mountain trail sky

The sunrise was not visible on the mountain trail 

Varying degrees of gray and blue enveloped the rolling mountains of Al Hajjar

Light beams piercing the darkness 

Rolling thunder, rain shower, gusty wind while hiking. Magnificent!

Truly awesome! Thick clouds, thunderstorm, strong gust winds and RAIN: the weekend weather forecast for the Shawkha Trail, RAK. The intensifying summer conditions has prohibited me from going up the trail for the past months. The news of summer rain is such a welcome relief! It quickly led me to prepare my gear! I will never miss this chance to be drenched in summer rain, fill my ears with the intense sound of the mountain wind and the roaring thunder, and march in my boots on the wet mountain rocks, sand and soil.

No wildlife photographs today just the magnificence of the scenery of my rainy day mountain hike. 

Awesome creation! Awesome CREATOR!

The heavens declare the glory of God. The skies above proclaim His handiwork (Psalm 19:1, ESV)
