Strasburg
For the second year in a row (!!) my May storm chasing trip to the US Tornado Alley was cancelled. A ridge of high pressure (called a 'Death Ridge' by storm chasers - not because it is possibly deadly to people, but because it's deadly to supercell activity) sat across the US Midwest the week I was supposed to chase.
In an effort to make lemonade out of lemons, I kept my flights to Denver and went exploring in eastern Colorado and Kansas, photographing grain elevators. The shorted trip (just 6 days) turned out to be quite a good one and sure beat staying at home, doing nothing!
Strasburg, Colorado, United States.
This trip to eastern Colorado and Kansas was a substitute (lemonade from lemons, if you will) for a storm chasing trip that same week that got cancelled. It turned out to be a lovely little trip. If you'd like to read about the trip and see some behind the scenes pics and video, take a look at my blog post about the Lemonade from Lemons tour. You can see all the images from the trip in my Colorado and Kansas album.
