Boadicea and Her Daughters is a bronze sculptural group in London, located to the north side of the western end of Westminster Bridge, near Portcullis House and Westminster Pier, facing Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster across the road. It is considered the magnum opus of its sculptor, the English artist and engineer Thomas Thornycroft
Clouds are seen over Manchester-by-the-Sea. After that a snow squall moved in. Weather changed rapidly.

Beside the fact that I can hardly pass up light poles or power lines and poles and towers, I have an affinity for the time of day when there is still some daylight and the electric lights go on. The color of the electric lights have a special presence that passes when night comes on.
I think that one of my "perfect picture" goals is to really capture what grabs me at this time of the day. But I'm thinking I will need to use a tripod to capture that moment, which of course is less convenient and sometimes not possible in every location.
May 4th, 2012 - Northern Buffalo County Nebraska US
I Seriously, wasn't going to go out this night... Had a weeks worth of hell, and I really just wanted to do was get off work and go home. I was tired, I was cranky, it was the first weekend I've had off in a Month...
As soon as I pulled into the driveway @home, I could hear the weather radio going off and my storm capturing sensation came over me. Listening to the bullitins coming over the radio and I Freaked!. The storms were closer than I had thought. NWS just put warnings for Northern Buffalo County for super fast development of strong to potentially super severe, with large hail, and possible Tornadoes.
Photography Chance of a lifetime... Even though someone could cast me as a member of the Walking Dead....I was a trooper and I didn't wimp out! Luckily I had the my camera on the charger... Grabbed all my equipment & I hauled A** North... 20 mins later I found myself in the perfect spot, under the perfect conditions!
Cresting over northern Buffalo County, ready to cross between Pleasanton & Ravenna Nebraska, this cell was rapidly building and already had tornado warning on it. Incredible CG lightning in front of the storm cell was just to good to capture, with lighting firing off every few seconds.

My 3 yr old son is terrified of lightning and thunderstorms. I'm not sure where he got the name or idea from but he calls the lightning "The Black Hole". I almost titled the image that but it sounded a little ominous especially if you didn't read the description. In the evenings when the thunderstorms roll in and the faint deep rumbles of thunder are heard, he whispers terrified to himself, "The Blackhole!" Then comes running to my arms. We sit in the darkness and I hold him, stroke his hair and talk to him. We talk about the thunder, I tell him why it happens, I tell him funny stories about it. He just listens with his head on my chest. When the storm is over he's up off my lap and life is good again. Even as an adult I still have fears. They aren't of thunderstorms anymore but they can feel just as real. Maybe it's discouragement, a fear of failure, it can be one and the same and I could definitely label it the Dark Hole at times. When my "thunderstorms" roll in, I am learning to give myself the same consideration as I do my son. Stop, talk myself through it, Sit and think in the quiet. I tell myself the logical side of things, the humorous side of things and even give myself a pep talk. Eventually the thunderstorm ends and I feel like a better version of myself. Facing your fears can just mean dealing with them at times. As long as we come out alright on the other end.
On a lighter note, I love thunderstorms. I love the smell of wet rain on the dirt, the bass of the thunder grumbling in the night and the bright flashes of lightning that light up the dark night. And I love cuddling my little boy;)
Here we are again at Sunset central. Another outstanding display by Mother Nature. This may be the last for a bit as it's suppose to rain starting tonight for a week or so!

East to west, the Dorset landscape changes immensely. This is taken roughly in the middle. In my opinion it needs a point of interest on the road, but cars don't really do it for me.

Summer storms trundling up the coast this afternoon resulting in a big contrast range between the sunshine and dark skies offshore.
Most of the thunder and lightning stuff seems to have either passed Sunderland either to the east or west, which is a bit of a shame as I love a good storm!
