windy summer morning in the jura mountains of Switzerland

Fascinating transition of cloud type. looking over head.

Cirrus uncinus and Cirrus floccus.

A line of convective storm are seen at the right. Most produced little in the way of precipitation. Cirrocumulus and Altocumulus dominated the remainder of the sky.

Taken 5 August around 5:15PM. Seems like the more thunderstorms that occur in a day, the more mammatus there is. However, their structure is not the cotton balls we storm chasers are familiar with. They appear more distorted as in this example.

These were taken over a couple of days

Compare to Nikon d3500, Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/50034116306/in/photost....

Not quite the resolution of a Nikon but color saturation and balance make up for this difference (my opinion). This image's appearance has a look of a polarizing filter.

Thanks Explore (#31). Best position (#200).

Thunderstorms, smoke and interesting lighting highlighted this cloudscape.

While driving around Albuquerque, I have discovered that all of Tramway Road NE (NM Road 556) can provide spectacular views of the Rio Grande Valley and beyond. This scene was captured just east of the Sandia Resort and Casino, on a pull-off named Hummingbird Road. Just right of center, is the Valles Caldera, the 13-mile wide circular depression in the Jemez Mountains that is the result of a massive volcanic eruption some 1.25 million yeas ago. The Valles Caldera is a supervolcano eruption, and one of the largest young calderas on Earth. It formed when multiple explosive eruptions occurred that produced an immense outpouring of ash, pumice, and pyroclastic flows. It is considered by geologists to be still active.

Much of the area was covered with volcanic ash (the Bandelier Tuff) from an eruption of the volcano. The tuff overlays shales and sandstones deposited during the Permian Period and limestone of Pennsylvanian age. Much of the ash and pumice solidified, which allowed ancient Puebloans to break up the firmer materials to use as bricks, while they carved out dwellings in the cliffs from the softer material. Those dwellings exist today and can be visited at Bandelier National Monument.

Thanks to the all followers ❤

I don't understand how anyone can ever get tired of looking out of the window of a plane. It's magical how the view changes right before your eyes and the lighting is incredible. I want to do a shoot inside a plane or atleast travel with someone who's willing to pose for me for a bit.

Anyways I have tons of pictures from planes and will probably make it into a little series.

Late afternoon shower. Managed to get a brief sprinkle out of it. Tomorrow expecting lots of intense afternoon storms.

Taken near home this evening, Cloudscape of the week for me!

I don't know about this one...

Late afternoon from my backyard. These high clouds zipped through from the north just before sunset.
