A supercell gathering strength near Glen Crouse, Kansas.
A supercell is a thunderstorm that is characterized by the presence of a mesocyclone: a deep, persistently rotating updraft. For this reason, these storms are sometimes referred to as rotating thunderstorms. Of the four classifications of thunderstorms (supercell, squall line, multi-cell, and single-cell), supercells are the overall least common and have the potential to be the most severe. Supercells are often isolated from other thunderstorms, and can dominate the local weather up to 32 kilometres (20 mi) away.
Supercells are often put into three classification types: Classic, Low-precipitation (LP), and High-precipitation (HP). LP supercells are usually found in climates that are more arid, such as the high plains of the United States, and HP supercells are most often found in moist climates. Supercells can occur anywhere in the world under the right pre-existing weather conditions, but they are most common in the Great Plains of the United States in an area known as Tornado Alley.
Typically, supercells are found in the warm sector of a low pressure system propagating generally in a north easterly direction in line with the cold front of the low pressure system. Because they can last for hours, they are known as quasi-steady-state storms. Supercells have the capability to deviate from the mean wind. If they track to the right or left of the mean wind (relative to the vertical wind shear), they are said to be "right-movers" or "left-movers," respectively. Supercells can sometimes develop two separate updrafts with opposing rotations, which splits the storm into two supercells: one left-mover and one right-mover.
Supercells can be any size – large or small, low or high topped. They usually produce copious amounts of hail, torrential rainfall, strong winds, and substantial downbursts. Supercells are one of the few types of clouds that typically spawn tornadoes within the mesocyclone, although only 30% or fewer do so.
On my way back home after staying over at my sister's house for xmas, I did my usual photowalk when I got into Glasgow (Scotland, my home city) and had a coffee too, rather than go straight back.
I was pleasantly surprised by what I was able to shoot.
It wasn't particularly busy for Boxing Day (the sales are on), but there were a few surprises too.
A street fashion shoot, a chap setting up his ‘office’ in the street (not sure what that was all about) and a street photographer with a long lens shooting a street performer too. These cats are new…
This moment was yet another one that puts me to shame. Just as we have reached the hilltop, huffing and panting, while patting each other on the back for the seemingly significant achievement, an older man walks up as effortlessly as I do on flat ground, carrying what seems like quite heavy equipment while walking on not-a-path. A good reminder indeed not to overlook the ability of older people - they can be much stronger than you think / are.

Over the past few years, I've really been working on building my physical strength. After taking these photos, I was surprised at how strong my back and arms look. Though I have insecurities about my body like many people do, I can honestly say I'm proud of it as well. Hoping to continue this fitness journey and keep improving!

The first part of the day, long day ends with Passwords. The group, which is followed in the distance in recent months has clearly increased in intensity, size, strength: its beautiful classic songs are extended in time, muscular in their execution, we seek noises and rub their ears do not hesitate the firedamp explosion or baffles unpredictable, spend a gloss rather classic rock, the beautiful sense of the term, progressions most surprising, kind of shoegazing-Progo quite elegant and rather efficient. To follow, always so: the guys promise again in the coming months, big changes. by Thomas Burgel
This is from 4/9/2014 in Minneapolis Minnesota. Ms. Jones had just begun touring after completing an early round of treatments for cancer. Her latest album had just been released and she was defiant and ready to beat this devil. It was a strong and inspiring performance.

"Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint."
Isaiah 40:28-31(ESV)
