Sunrise Clouds over Tufa at Mono Lake

We've been getting some clouds building in the afternoon in recent days at Topaz Lake and Mono Lake, but they often break up just before sunset. We had three good crashes of thunder overhead last night around 7 pm, but even that large thunder cloud dispersed before it could put on a good show of color or lightning.  Fortunately some clouds and storms do occur at just the right time for photographers, and it's only a matter of time before we get the next one.
