Prairie Thunder Storm near Fort Qu'Appelle Saskatchewan
Leaving Regina, I went east on Hwy 1 and then north/east on Hwy 35 to Fort Qu'Appelle Saskatchewan. As I traveled east I could see a thunder storm brewing in the distance.

As I traveled along Hwy 35, it was clear that a storm was gathering. I wanted to reach the Qu'Appelle river valley before it rained. Would the rain hold off until then?

Just a few miles east of Fort Qu'Appelle, I arrived in Lebret, population around 200 people. The skies opened up. Thunder boomed. Lightning flashed. There was this beautiful old church but I couldn't get a picture of it. Rain was so heavy I had to pull off into this parking lot.

It was raining so heavily it was difficult to drive. The only option was to drive in the opposite direction, away from the rain.

Very beautiful scenery in the Qu'Appelle valley. The sky was still undecided about further rain but it made for a vivid picture against the dark sky.
