As Hurricane Irene neared the North Carolina coast, the outer fringes of the massive storm began brushing the Raleigh area, generating rapid cloud motion from the northeast. I decided to try a time lapse to capture this (about 50 minute duration)- but didn’t anticipate the setting sun making an appearance.

   Wonderful colors!!! Love the time lapse video, too 🙂 Thanks for covering Irene for us – somehow I know you will be there to capture some more footage.

   Nice! The new Justice Center is filling up a nice bit of space too. Looks pretty good in the 2nd photo.
