Thunderstorms in the upper Midwest of the US this year have been returning to what was once their typical behavior. Fueled by the waning heat of a rapidly retreating sunset, ordinary clouds suddenly boil over into massive, powerful thunderheads within a few minutes due to cooler air as night approaches. This leads to spectacular summer cloud-watching displays. My neighbors and I emerge from our homes to enjoy the enormous forms swirling above us, lit in almost theatrical splendor. The final display of solar rays illuminating faraway mountains of water vapor is, for us, unequaled in beauty.
Threat of a storm above with leaden summer skies. Underneath these grasses and assorted plants just hold their own and regardless of what comes from the sky soon I am sure they will still be here tomorrow, fragile as they seem!
Artwork by Dutch artist Bob Bonies (b. 1937). Was an exhibition in Kunstmuseum The Hague. The monochrome planes of colour in his paintings are nothing other than what they appear to be: colour and form.

The mountains of Eryri form a backdrop to this once busy slate works. Yr Wydffa or Snowdon is the peak in the distance and the passing thunder storm created nice dramatic light. Dinorwic quarry is now abandoned but this little building would have once been a busy place. In winter the conditions would have been harsh but on a pleasant early autumn day like this, the view from the office window would have been something to behold.

Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly coloured, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colours). They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Because of a degree of variability within the populations, and a long history of cultivation, classification has been complex and controversial. The tulip is a member of the Liliaceae (lily) family, along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to Amana, Erythronium and Gagea in the tribe Lilieae. There are about 75 species, and these are divided among four subgenera. The name "tulip" is thought to be derived from a Persian word for turban, which it may have been thought to resemble.
Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated (see map). In their natural state they are adapted to steppes and mountainous areas with temperate climates. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring.
Tekergős járatával érkezik Rákoskeresztúr és Madárdomb határán található egyik megállójába a BKV egyik Ikarus 412-es autóbusza (Ikarus 412.10A, BPI-020, később AA CV-201). Budapestre az ezredforduló környékén érkezett a típus, ezáltal a BKV első alacsonypadlós buszai lettek ezek. Ezek Magyarországon az Ikarus 400-as széria utolsó képviselői, melyek már csak a fővárosban közlekednek, néhány alacsonypadlós autó- és trolibusz formájában.

''...La Bellezza è una forma del Genio, anzi, è più alta del Genio perché non necessita di spiegazioni. Essa è uno dei grandi fatti del mondo, come la luce solare, la primavera, il riflesso nell’acqua scura di quella conchiglia d’argento che chiamiamo luna. Non può essere interrogata: regna per diritto divino...''

In September 2015, I was scouting out and photographing numerous sites around Lake Tahoe, California and many sites in the Eastern Sierras for a short 5 days.
One the night of September 17, I took the Bonsai Rock Milky Way shot with the moon just above the distant mountain peaks.
The next day we moved down into the Eastern Sierras where I had been planning to photograph the iconic bristlecone pine tree with the Milky Way. Little did I know on the way down how well the moon would come into play with my night sky photography work there.
I used a long established technique to get the moon rays in this shoot while I light painted the bristlecone pine tree with my special light.
In 2017, I will have two 5 day Milky Way photography workshop in Arches National Park in Moab, Utah, one over the 3rd week in March and one over the 3rd week in April.
During each of the two workshops, I will conduct 3 4+ hour Milky Way Photoshop post processing session where I teach all the techniques I used to create this final photo but this time it will be more of what is called a "Deep Dive" PS post processing session and workshop participants will need a laptop with Photoshop CS 2017. Lightroom will work but lacks some functionality used in what I will teach.

My Milky Way night sky photography workshops
In 2017, I will be leading two 4 day photography workshops in Jackson Hole. During both workshops, I will take my group out for 3 nights of my Milky Way night sky workshop.
My 2017 4-5 day photography workshop schedule:
ANP, Canyonlands & Monument Valley - March 24-29
Icons of the Southwest w/Ryan Smith - April 23-28
Jackson Hole, Wyoming spring - June 21-25
Jackson Hole, Wyoming fall - September 19-23
The great part is that in 2017 I will return to Jackson Hole for the incredible wildflowers throughout the valley and the surrounding mountains.

In 1968, Vancouver lawyer Douglas Brown formed the Vancouver Harbour Improvement Society and commissioned sculptor Elek Imredy to come up with a work inspired by, but not a direct copy of Copenhagen's Little Mermaid. The result was Girl in a Westsuit, a life size bronze sculpture (and occasional seagull perch) mounted on a large boulder off the shore of Stanley Park. The sculpture was unveiled to some controversty in 1972 but it has since become something of a landmark for visitors to Stanley Park.
Normally the rock is surrounded by water, but during very low tides it can be reached on foot.

Here are photos of the tornado forming, along with a description of each.
My friend, Nick Lee, is a storm spotter. He and I were out taking these
photos that day. He is the copyright owner and has given me permission to
share them with you.
Dirk
P.S.: Please use the descriptions somehow in your description of the photos.
Description of photos:
Tornado-1: shows the storm coming around the corner into view.
Tornado-2: Inflow notch seen - this is where the air feeding the updraft was
located at.
Tornado-3 & 4: Tornado on ground getting closer to City of Cullman. At this
point it was passing Good Hope and going through Cullman County.
Tornado-5: Here you can see another vortex forming. What we were witnessing
was a rapid intensification of this storm from an EF2 to a multi-vortex EF4.
Tornado-6: Even though the funnel is hard to see, the tornado was still on
the ground. Here you can see the multiple vortexes spinning around the one
in the middle that looks like it is invisible.
