An image from New Mexico, where after getting slammed by super high winds and a generous helping of small pea to marble sized hail by the shipload the storm finally passed... and I had to stop for this.
As dawn breaks over North Texas, a wind turbine on the University of North Texas campus rises tall against the sky.
The wall cloud from the Canadian storm, less than 40 minutes later this storm dropped a powerful tornado.
Canadian, Texas, USA.

Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are clouds in the winter polar stratosphere at altitudes of 15,000–25,000 m (49,000–82,000 ft). They are best observed during civil twilight, when the Sun is between 1 and 6 degrees below the horizon, as well as in winter and in more northerly latitudes.[1] One main type of PSC is made up mostly of supercooled droplets of water and nitric acid and is implicated in the formation of ozone holes.[2] The other main type consists only of ice crystals which are not harmful. This type of PSC is also referred to as nacreous (/ˈneɪkriəs/, from nacre, or mother of pearl, due to its iridescence).

Grey, drizzly day, today. Just need some blue and white.
Oh! Yes -- View On Black
Or if you have time -- View Larger. + f11
Break the barrier, where drama does wait
Feel the caresses of the hands of fate
Give yourself, give it all
To the wild passion, that does call
Strip your fears and surrender
Forbidden lands, you will enter
Where under dramatic clouds above
You will be soaked in the elixir of love
Hidden desires, will be woken
Wild cries of passion will be spoken
You lose your mind, the land does shake
As all the barriers, you frantically break
As a curiosity, I love this Tamron 17mm lens. It's old, and manual, but it doesn't matter too much for such a wide angle. However, the expositions are non-trivial, as it seems to have been miscalculated. The D200 measures the light wide open, and does the calculation for the different apertures. Then at f/8, f/11 or f/16 it can lead to -1EV or even -2EV. Well... old school lenses...
