Storms Across America - Minnesota: Day 4/7
This is the shelf cloud, as I described it yesterday. Very dramatic with excellent structure. This may go down as the best structured shelf cloud I've ever seen.
We're sitting immediately South of Fergus Falls, looking southward as it surged quickly eastward and towards us.

At the Speyer Technik Museum, they have a Lufthansa 747 on display. A bespoke structure was created on which it is brought to rest.
This is the deck at a height of about 15m where you can inspect it's belly. You have to take the spiral stairs up, on your left, to go into the Jumbo Jet. Near the spiral stairs you can see the entrance of the slide going down.
As you can see, the aircraft is a bit tilted. Horizontal and vertical. I think they've done that so that the crowds will not stay long enough (uncomfortable) and the crowd flow through the aircraft is better. Tilting horizontal is done so that you, if you loose your balance, don't fall down from the front till the back of the aircraft. If you loose balance, you will go into the sidewall. Just guessing here.
A 747 is not that high above ground from cabin level. I can remember, when I was working at Schiphol, that a collegue lowered himself from the cabin level door opening of a 737 and landed on the ground safely. I guess a 747 is a bit higher but I think it's doable.

Severe/Tornado Warned Storm between Liberty - Tuxford SK Canada
Insane storm structure as I stood near North Grove looking West
This day’s forecasting was a challenge! I was seeing a couple different options. One being Weyburn and South (which ended up having a nice storm and dropped a Tornado) and another setup around Raymore. I chose Raymore region and away I went.
Sat in crazy muggy 30+ Degree heat while waiting, and waiting and waiting.
Boundaries forming all over, including my spot! Line of clouds would form and then die off. Form and then die off, over and over again.
Nothing was happening.
The Storms South of Weyburn began to fire up. My side .... still nothing.
Finally, around 5 pm North of Lucky Lake (to my West) a storm began to form on Radar. I waiting to see what direction it was taking and also was cautious of “jumping the gun” aka heading to the storm and missing a storm at my spot.
I let it run a few radar scans and then away I went!
Around 6:30 pm it was looking insane on radar as I was right around Liberty trying to get more South as it was moving straight East at me, and it sucks trying to get storm photos when you are cored in hail and rain and can’t see anything haha.
7 pm, I was heading towards Craik as photos on twitter began to pop up of the beautiful storm structure happening between Grainland, Central Butte &Tugaske (also showing rotation on radar).
7:15 pm I was still working my way South while also trying NOT to get cored in this system as I made my way towards Chamberlain.
7:37 pm I was near North Grove looking West at some INSANE storm structure !!!!
After enjoying that for some time, blasted further South to not get stuck within the core.
I headed towards Tuxford where around 8 pm I found myself in front on an angry lowering with my anemometer clocking wind speeds from 110 - 121 km !!!!
From there, I was too far back to ever catch up to the storm that now is just moving, so sat back and watched the beautiful system from the back end as it made it’s way East towards Manitoba.
What a hell of a beautiful chase day!!!

i definitely need a more simple structure right now. my whole week will turn into a slow and gnawing scortched earth in no time. finals are next week, and i am considering locking myself in my room (to be over-exaggerated). i've acquired some new bad habits in the last 24 hours as well.
like my new book that i am now hooked onto for dear life: twilight. i havent been so....animated while reading since JK first wrote all those lovely HP's. And this ones different. I just melt, basically. I can be such a sappy romantic. People who are mysterious and endearing like Edward....I really wish existed in the world. My Bf should be careful, this book could be a terrible obsession =p.
You know, the funny thing is, i read it in the library today when i should have been studying for my last lab test for biology. nope. i just read. and the worst part, i was mostly smiling the entire time at a table full of people. i even tried to cover my mouth with my jacket to keep from looking like an idiot.
oooo dear. i will get through this though. and my life will be simple again, if only for a few days.
I have been taking pictures of this slowly crumbling potato packing plant for the last 10 years. During the recent brush with Hurricane Matthew the front facade finally collapsed in upon the floor. It no longer has the personality it once did. I feel a bit of loss as if for an old friend.

Native American structures in the primitive area of Rock Ledge Ranch near the Galloway Homestead area. Heavy snowfall adds to the mood...
Yesterday at the Maasvlakte beach there was too much to photograph. I took a few steps back from the sea, in the hope to find a composition without the rough sea. I found these small sticks with amazing sand structures around it and knew this was the shot.

Levelland, Texas
Supercell that produced the Morton tornado earlier in the day at sunset near the town of Levelland. This storm would remain tornado warned through the evening as it approached Lubbock, but no additional tornadoes were reported.
Here is a sneak peek at the internals of individual sub-assemblies that are part of Ancient Roman Temple model. Due to the considerable size of this model this is only a fraction all sub-assemblies but hopefully they will provide some insights into internal structure.

For those wondering what is actually inside the famous Atomium in Brussels I can reveal the answer is not a whole lot........ There's a permanent exhibit on the design and construction of the iconic structure and a temporary exhibition space which when I visited had an interesting exhibition about the Surrealist Belgian artist René Magritte.
Not really sure what this 'sphere' was all about though, it just seemed to be a 'chill out' zone.......

From Wikipedia : "The Atomium is a landmark building in Brussels (Belgium), originally constructed for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair (Expo 58). It is located on the Heysel Plateau, where the exhibition took place. It is now a museum.
Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and architects André and Jean Polak, it stands 102 m (335 ft) tall. Its nine 18 m (60 ft) diameter stainless steel clad spheres are connected, so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an α-iron (ferrite) crystal magnified 165 billion times. Tubes of 3 m (10 ft) diameter connect the spheres along the 12 edges of the cube and all eight vertices to the centre. They enclose stairs, escalators and a lift (in the central, vertical tube) to allow access to the five habitable spheres, which contain exhibit halls and other public spaces. The top sphere includes a restaurant which has a panoramic view of Brussels."

A lenticular cloud with amazing structure takes form at sunrise just east of the Continental Divide. These clouds form when strong jets of wind encounter obstacles such as mountains, and are forced upward, forming cloud bands, or in this case isolated lenticular clouds (grossly oversimplifying). Alternatively this is actually a giant UFO come to take samples of Earthlings back to its home planet. Or if you prefer, this is actually a giant cell cleaved off of Gaia (note the organelles and cilia), floating above the rest of its corporeal self.
Another hypothesis, promoted by many insightful comments, is that this is a whale... perhaps the very whale from Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy??

The details in this cloud were amazing and very transient. The features would form and disappear in just a few minutes. The shutter speed is slow enough that there is movement in these features. (i)

The art of structuring a photographic image lies in the thoughtful arrangement of elements within the frame to create a harmonious and engaging picture.
" The structure consists of a 100-meter by 40-meter pool surrounded by concrete walls as well as two sets of bleachers on the side closest to shore. The entrance, which is located in between the bleachers, consists of one larger central arch crowned with eagles and two shorter arches on either side. Admiring the cream-colored Beaux-Arts edifice, you wonder why it was built—or why it is closed.
The Waikiki Natatorium War Memorial was first conceived of in 1921 as a memorial to people from Hawai'i who had fought in World War I. At the time, saltwater swimming was quite popular around the world, so it seemed natural to construct such a pool near Waikiki, which was already becoming a popular tourist destination. The structure was built and funded by the territorial legislature. The natatorium was then opened on August 24, 1927, which coincided with the birthday of Olympic Gold Medalist and surfing pioneer Duke Kahanamoku, who also was the first to swim in the pool.
In the first two decades after it was built, the natatorium was quite popular with tourists and celebrities as well as locals, and it was also used for swimming lessons. It was even briefly used for training army personnel during World War II. However, the pool deteriorated over time and was eventually closed in 1979 because it was unsafe. Since then, it has remained closed.
The Waikiki Natatorium War Memorial was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, which prevented its demolition by either the Honolulu government or private developers, but this has also complicated efforts to repair or redevelop the site. Additionally, refurbishing the pool so that it meets modern safety standards has been difficult. The local community in Honolulu generally supports repairing and reopening the site, but various proposals for the site, including partial demolition of the natatorium, have faced opposition. Having said this, the front façade was partially refurbished in the late 1990s.
At this point in time, both the local governments and community support groups are wrangling over what to do with the Waikiki Natatorium War Memorial. Meanwhile, the structure is still slowly crumbling along the shoreline near one of the most popular vacation destinations in the United States." ---Atlas Obscura
