Clouds colored almost pink during sunset. Liked this one the most for "Crazy Tuesday", theme
"Clouds"
This, too, is from our road trip across country, from Washington state to Kentucky, covering 10 states! This was from our first leg in Oregon, somewhere between Pendleton and La Grande, Oregon. La Grande is actually just past the mountains.
This is what we had to drive through, realizing we had a winter storm warning ahead of us! This was the scariest portion of our trip, because we knew what was ahead of us, with a very real possibility of snow and ice! Scary! But even with some snow and ice, we got through it! (We did have chains, if we had needed them.) Once we hit the summit, we were in the clear!
I just love these dark clouds (now that it's over, I can say that! ha!), and with the sun shining through in the midst, I thought it was just beautiful! There is definitely light at the end of the tunnel! ha! Hope you all enjoy!

It's just beautiful to walk along the beach and watch the amazing sunrise and sky colours!

Thanks for your visit and comments I appreciate that very much
Some spots of sun today, but the mood was set by the dark clouds overhead. The chilliest day so far.
For a moment, there was a break in the passing storm clouds, lighting one tower of the Mackinac Bridge. It was worth getting slightly wet to see this interesting lighting.
This picture was slightly cropped, slightly darkened and sharpened, but the bright tower was lit up by Mother Nature! The "spotlight" lasted only about 5 minutes.

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.

Hwy 2 Bound Northwest...
Boiling afternoon temps... was a relief when the the cloud cover finally covered the sun that afternoon. From about 103 to 85 was a welcomed relief. I would be in the thick of it soon.
This monstrous storm system was creeping in from the northwest. As I got closer, or as it approached... it was from horizon to horizon.

Apologies for the overload of Trevose Head Lighthouse photos but whilst I was walking around the headland I hurt me bleddy knee. At the moment I aint going know where for a few days.
Just another rainy day..

I thought…why display a good image with such a dramatic sky in colour only? The rain and hailstones came soon after. Taken on a 7 mile recce club walk in mixed weather conditions.
Taken from out side the Hoota Caves at Oman, the site was beautiful with rays of light falling on the village near by. Dark clouds added the drama. The rocky field was hard to walk on with all the equipment I had on my back, but how can you stop and not capture the moment when you see such view created by mother nature!
Enjoy the details in full-screen view!

We had to pack up and move south via Hwy 283 South then Head due east of Hwy 89. This route takes us though Beaver City, Orleans, and eventually just north of Alma Nebraska.
First Stop Beaver City just for a few mins. This is where the storm intensified and we had a well defined Meso on this storm with all the extras.
We were still a few miles ahead of this beast and safe. Plenty of time to stop and have a picnic.... A well 4 course meal of Storm Photography!

These are truly My Best Lightning Captures to date!
An epic night of sunset light and storm light @ twilight. Its almost every storm chasers dreams... or at least, in my own opinion, to get along side of a storm like this, as its firing away some incredible CC & CG every few seconds. What more could you ask for...
I was that Lucky Gut that evening. Just mother nature and I. Close to home after a few long storm chasing jaunts is just fine by me. She was producing and I was capturing every incredible second of this storm.. No Forking Bolt went away that evening without me getting a snap of its presence.. lol

Io lo immagino così, sperando che del collegio giudicante non faccia parte qualche stupido admin di Flickr.

I imagine it this way, hoping that some of the stupid Flickr admins won't be part of the judging committee.

One of the down sides to night photography is the risk to personal safety. For most of us, there is a certain element of risk heading to an unfamiliar area after dark, often carrying significantly expensive camera equipment. This photo for me was a bit of a wake up call as to the nasty side of humanity.
I arrived on location during the late afternoon, happily capturing plenty of shots hoping for a spectacular sunset - which never eventuated. It was cold and wet and when the sun set, the light disappeared quickly into darkness. Having been on location for a couple of hours, I felt more than comfortable with my surroundings.
It was during this long exposure shot that I had a rude awakening. I was approached by an older gentleman who inquisitively asked what I was doing. No big deal, it happens regularly. He asked a couple of innocent questions about the subject matter for my photo. The conversation soon turned nasty when he began abusing me for my “boring” choice of subject matter. He told me I was wasting my time and that people are only interested in photos of people. He became highly aggressive, even urging other passers-by to join him in his argument. Fortunately, his rant caught the attention of a couple out walking their dog who came to render some me assistance and convinced him it was time to move on.
It’s sad that people like this can ruin your day and stop you from doing what you love.
The moral of my story, be aware of your surroundings, not just whatever you’re photographing, and preferably do it with a friend - particularly if you’re out after dark.
On a mostly stormy afternoon, a small pocket of sunshine lights up Montana Rail Link’s Bozeman turn on the curve along the Yellowstone River leaving Columbus, Montana. MRL SD45 No. 355 and SD40-2XR No. 252 power the westbound local on July 2, 2019.
