From Dree Hill on the lower slopes of Slieve Croob in Co Down on a very blustery day and looking over the townlands of Moybrick, Levallyreagh and Ardtanagh - my ancestral homeland!

Lough Neagh, the largest body of fresh water in the British Isles can be seen in the distance, with the Sperrin Mountains beyond.

This cell provided nice late afternoon lighting contrast.

Picture of the Day

Now, with a little help from Michael Lawlor - THX -, I think those clouds are undulatus asperatus aka asperitas. Anyway, it was a fascinating spectacle with skies like a mixture of snowdrifts and puff pastry, and at the end with a brilliant cloudburst.

This 19 sec time-lapse covers 2 hours. Used a GoPro 10. Note how the standing waves stratocumulus lenticularis hardly moves. A higher altostratus overcast dominates the reminder of the sky.

Yesterday afternoon, we went out and it was still very hot. I took the photo with my Nikon D800E AND THE 60MM F/2.8 MACRO LENS. THANKS TO THOSE WHO VIEW, COMMENT AND FAVE MY PHOTOS.

August 11, 2019 on Flickr Click Here

On the hunt for Severe Weather after about a month off of chasing. Though, always prepared and ready to go on another storm chasing adventure, once the storm models look favorable I was off to Eastern Colorado!

Early afternoon we encountered the first severe storm cells by Akron and Otis Colorado! We were traveling southbound via Hwy 61! Hot & humid, with the lower level jet playing into the game we were ready for mother nature to do her thing!
