It was a classic bank holiday weekend when the heavens opened with heavy showers battering much of Sussex on Monday.
But our camera club snappers didn't let that dampen their spirits.
They caught some cracking pictures and the dramatic grey skies looked incredible.
Yvonne Kinasz has been in Tilgate Park, Crawley, and the South Downs near Ditchling to capture the dark skies and stunning scenery.
She photographed sheep in the foreground and paragliders soaring through cloudy skies up at Ditchling Beacon.
At 248 metres above sea level, Ditchling Beacon is the highest point in East Sussex and offers panoramic views from the summit.
Ditchling Beacon is managed by the National Trust and Sussex Wildlife Trust.
A spokeswoman for the National Trust said it is a great place for visitors to see all sorts of wildlife.
She added: "As you stroll around the downland, keep your eyes peeled for kestrels hovering overhead. Redwings feed on the grass among the sheep and there are linnets in the scrub, which flock together during winter.
"Between spring and early autumn there’s a variety of butterflies, including the scarce silver-spotted skipper, the green hairstreak and the marbled white."
Yvonne also took some beautiful close-ups of dandelion clocks and an umbrella plant with its tiny pink flowers.
