I had several chances at storms over the month of July into Early August... I did make an several attempts... resulting in several good sunsets (I'll post these at a later time), just no good storms to capture ... until this one.

This would be the start to several sets of images expanding from Mid August to late September and a few chases in October.

10:00pm, and the rain was coming down in sheets. Radar had several cells starting to mature, and warnings were just issued for Northern Buffalo County. Can you say right place right time...

This Ominous Shelf Cloud had several cloud to cloud and cloud to ground shots. Lots of positive lighting in front of this cell. It was incredible hard to see since it was misting and then hard rain right before these captures!

Tech Note: The image consists of a single photographic exposure of a cloud formation processed to create the illusion of additional topological elements, i.e., a region of rugged, flat-topped mountains. (There is no superposition of elements from other exposures. It's all clouds.)

FROntal PAssage at 4PM saw the temperature drop 19 degrees over the next hour as winds shifted from west to north. This cloudless front (from the north) developed this interesting cloud pattern once it moved through and interacted with a strong southwesterly flow aloft.

Rocky Mountain National Park can have some dramatic clouds. This day was no exception.

A thunderstorm was approaching from the lower left as these clouds seem to respond to the upper level turbulence caused by it.

Taken late afternoon on 29 August.

A bit of dramtic snowstorm passing over the windfarm near where I live.

July 15, 2015 - South of Red Cloud Nebraska US

Right on the Nebraska / Kansas Border

NWS had the severe weather events for that day were to be about 200 miles to the east of south central Nebraska. Though we still had a risk of severe weather, but with the 100 Temps and lots of moisture to work with... it was bound to happen.

Finally, after waiting for a extremely slow train crossing Hwy 136 west, we were able to get south of Red Cloud Nebraska. Met up with some other chasers and we all were going to go follow the leading severe warned cells in central Kansas. Low and behold the cell just south of Red Clouds had just went into a warning. Can you say right place.... Right Time!

This was simply the best structured cell that I have caught up this season for tornadic activity. This cell did not produce a tornado, but it had rotation, hail, and torrential rain. Eye Candy for the Storm Chaser in mind....

Normally, when these clouds form just after sunrise, they are altocumulus. Well this morning they are the higher variety (cirrocumulus).

Cloudscape

The photo captures a dramatic sky filled with fluffy, white clouds against a vibrant blue background. The clouds are the dominant feature, taking up most of the frame and creating a sense of depth and movement. The lighting is bright and diffused, highlighting the texture and shape of the clouds. The overall impression is one of natural beauty and tranquility.

This week's photo has quite a humorous tale. While capturing a picturesque scene of seagulls soaring in the sky, with a child feeding them chips, I thought it couldn't get any better with the beautiful clouds as the backdrop. As I clicked the shutter, there came an unexpected twist – a bird's unfortunate gift landed right on my face. The odds of a bird pooping on you is about one in five million chance apparently! So despite the mishap, I decided to keep the photo, embracing the saying "luck is on my side."

Dear friends, please come )))) www.instagram.com/fotoarteoro

Came back this afternoon to discover a wonderful view during low tide at this quiet spot – thankful.
