It has been an excellent start to the 2016 chase Season. Bonus was, that I had the day off and no commitments except for storm chasing. I was set for an Epic Day!
I ended up with well over 700 pic from this storm chasing event, but I've skimmed it down to about 100+. Truly this will become some of my best severe weather photography to date...
I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had now positioned myself just to the North of Wray Colorado.
Strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... It's all about timing, and I thought it wouldn't produce till it was well west of my location. Giving me that perfect view of the backside rotation of the storm.
In my opinion, I found a perfect view, looking due south southeast. I ended up on the northwest side of the rotation. Dangerous yes...but this will eventually give me one excellent view of this tornado and all her glory.

Sunrise at Chaine Memorial Tower a few weeks ago. I decided last minute to get up for a sunrise but didn't account for the position of the sun this morning as it was behind the hills.
I am happy that I didn't leave sooner as the cloud had a wonderful colouring.
Hope you like and as always please feel free to like and share my images!
Thanks!

من بودم آن گل زرد کز جلوه ی نخستین
ایینه خزان دید , صبح بهار خود را
آن رهرو جنونم کز خون خود نوشتم
بر خاک و خار و خارا هر یادگار خود را
خوش باد وقت آن کو , ز آغاز جاده ی عشق
چون شمع کرد روشن , پایان کار خود را
کو دشت بی کرانی تا سر دهم چو مجنون
این های های زار ِ دیوانه وار خود را
شفیعی کدکنی

A shot I took on a storm chase last summer and finally got around to processing it...
This is Lake George, an ancient lake, believed to be more than a million years old.
Originally, small streams drained its catchment into the Yass River, but then the Lake George Escarpment rose due to major crustal movement along a strong fault line, blocking this drainage and forming the lake. Lake George has in previous Ice Ages been much larger and deeper.
Currently, the lake is dry and has been for many years... I cant imagine what it would look like full of water and life...

Fotografies de la zona de combats de la Batalla del Ebre (1938).
El turó del cementiri de Vilalba dels Arcs, vist des del poble mateix. És a dir, les posicions avançades republicanes del juliol del 1938, vistes des de les posicions feixistes del poble.
El dia 26 de juliol la 33 Brigada republicana captura el cementiri de Vilalba dels Arcs, situant-se per tant just al est de la vila. Però la vall de Lo Camí de Xivell, que els separa del nucli urbà, es molt facil de defensar des de una fortalesa natural com és Vilalba, sobretot des del est.
Des del 27 fins el 31 de juliol. els republicans intentaran conquerir Vilalba, arribant pel que sembla a les primeres cases del poble, però sent refusats. De fet, el 31 mateix abandonen el cementiri, ja que està massa exposat al foc enemic. Així acaben els combats en aquest sector de la batalla.
La batalla de l'Ebre (25 juliol - 16 novembre de 1938) fou la més important i mortifera de la guerra civil espanyola. Hi ha que també la consideren també la més decisiva, però crec que per desgracia la guerra ja estava decidida de molt abans, com a minim des del trencament del front d'Aragó el 9 de març del mateix any.
Tot i que l'exèrcit republicà creuà l'Ebre el 25 de juliol del 1938 per molts punts entre Mequinensa i Amposta, la major part dels combats de la batalla es donaren a la Terra Alta, a la zona entre Vilalba dels Arcs, La Fatarella, Camposines i Gandesa, a més de la Serra de Pandols.

============================================
This is part of the Ebro battlefield (1938), in Southern Catalonia.
The Republican frontline positions in the cemetery hill seen from the fascist positions in the village of Vilalba dels Arcs. This small valley was quite almost impossible to pass without being slaughtered by the rifle and MG fire from the medieval village.
On July 26, the 33rd Republican Brigade captured the cemetery of Vilalba dels Arcs, thus being located just east of the town. But the valley which separates them from the village is very easy to defend from a natural fortress such as Vilalba, especially from the east.
From the 27th to the 31st of July. the republicans will try to conquer Vilalba, arriving apparently at the first houses of the village, but being rejected. In fact, on the 31st they leave the cemetery itself, as it is too exposed to enemy fire. Thus ends the fighting in this sector of the battle.
The Battle of the Ebro (July 25 - November 16, 1938) was the most important and deadlier of the Spanish Civil War. There are those who also consider it the most decisive, but I think that unfortunately the war was already decided long before, at least since the breaking of the front of Aragon on March 9 of the same year.
The battle began with the greatest offensive made by the Republican forces, when they crossed the river Ebro between Mequinensa and Amposta (especially between Riba-roja and Miravet), and advanced to the line La Pobla de Massaluca -Vilalba dels Arcs -Gandesa - Serra de Pandols . But in just 48 hours, the dazzling advance was stopped short. Then Franco decided to crush the republican forces hill by hill (with massive artillery and bomber barrages), in a battle of attrition identical to the First World War for which the Republicans had no resources or alternative, especially with the river behind them. The main assaults, which lasted from August 10 to October 29, were concentrated in a very small and devastated area: the triangle Vertex Gaeta - Corbera - Camposines.
Finally, a final offensive on October 30 occupied the ridge of the Serra de Cavalls, making the entire Republican bridgehead unsustainable, which managed, however, to withdraw in an orderly manner until November 16. But the damage was already done, and there were no forces left for a proper defense of Catalonia, which fell three months later. Then, fascist darkness.

It was sooooo pretty outside. Pretty cold, but absolutely beautiful. Totally worth it! This is probably my favorite shot from the set. I'm not exactly sure why, but it reminds me of the opening scenes of The Passion, when Jesus was in the Garden.
Although I don't believe "pole position" has anything to do with horse racing, they were the first words that came to my mind while thinking of a title, obviously due to the intrusive poles in the frame.
N&W J 611 is in transport to the Buckingham Branch for their fall 2023 excursion train, as it passes Arcadia, Virginia.
To get the sunset positioned over one of the coves on Lake Argyle, we drove part way around the lake, turned off the roadway an dfollowed a gravel road down towards the lake. About two thirds of the way down, the road was blocked, so we hiked from there down to a primitive campsite and then beyond it to the shoreline. However, the water level was higher than I expected, and so we were not able to work our way from that point along the shoreline. A few fish later (caught by by grandson), we had a breif view of a beautiful sunset.
The night before, when I debated whether go to the lake, the sunset turned out to be spectacular. Unfortuantely, I stayed home that night and missed out.

♥ FP and EXPLORE ♥ ....3/8/09.... Best Position #13.... Thank you Friends!
This photograph is dedicated to my friend Mike (MSG Mike) who wrote me such a wonderful testimony. Mike has a Nikon D90 like me and that's how we "met" on Flickr. He is a very talented photographer so be sure to stop by and visit Mike’s Photostream . Thank you for your wonderful friendship, Mike! ♥
This is the inside of a clematis bloom that I photographed in October, four days after I got my D90. I am beginning to see signs of new growth taking place on this vine, as spring is starting to reveal itself. It has been in the 80's this weekend.... strange after having freezing weather and snow flurries less than two weeks ago.
NOTE:THANK YOU FRIENDS for your continual support of my photography, your lovely comments and encouragement and most of all for your enduring friendship. I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday and has a wonderful "blue" Monday, as well! ♥

This was a casual shot which I walked past, shot it & quickly moved on to the food mall to feed my hungry stomach! Just thought the colours are pretty attractive!

Technicians at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans moved the engine section of NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket for Artemis II, the first crewed mission to the Moon, into position for the final join of the core stage Feb. 22. The engine section is the bottom-most portion of the 212-foot-tall core stage. It is the last of five major elements that is needed to connect the stage into one major structure. In addition to its miles of cabling and hundreds of sensors, the engine section is a crucial attachment point for the four RS-25 engines and two solid rocket boosters that produce a combined 8.8 million pounds of thrust at liftoff and flight. During launch and flight, liquid propellants from the liquid hydrogen tank and liquid oxygen tanks are delivered through the engine section to the four RS-25 engines. The engine section also includes the avionics that help steer the engines after liftoff.
Next, teams will join the engine section to the core stage for the second SLS rocket. After the join is complete, teams will begin to add each of the four RS-25 engines one by one to complete the stage. The completely assembled stage with its four RS-25 engines will be shipped to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida later this year. The SLS rocket is the only rocket capable of carrying astronauts in Orion around the Moon in a single mission.
