We watched the storm as we traveled southward on CO-150 back to US-160 and we again turned eastward. From La Veta to Walsenburg, where the route is known as Highway of Legends, we were in the path of the storm. The clerk at the 7-Eleven in Walsenburg was listening to the radio as the announcer gave a severe thunderstorm warning.
We took I-25 southbound into New Mexico to Raton. We had supper at K-Bob’s Steakhouse then spent the night there in Raton. We arrived at the motel at 8:50 p.m. Mountain time after driving 392.6 miles that day.
I went for my last drive whilst on holidays up in Queensland yesterday to explore the Forest Hill - Laidley area, an area of low lying farmlands in the Lockyer Valley, which bore the brunt of Nature's fury (and consequent loss of life) during the flash flooding of the 10th of January, 2011.
I was amazed at the devastation which had been caused, seeing houses left sitting on the ground after having been swept from their stumps by the oncoming water, and all of their windows blown out by the sheer force of that water. It was a very sobering reminder of how insignificant we are as human beings when compared to the force of Mother Nature at her wildest, and how tragic this event was for those who live and work in that area. I did not take any shots of the devastated homes which still dot the landscape, as I felt that would be a rather disrespectful thing to do given the loss of life that occurred on that day a year previously.
At the turn-off from the Gatton Road, I was able to gain a reasonable view of this approaching rain-front, and took this shot as a sort of homage to the resilience of the people who live and work on the land.

Denver May 2013
Seconds after taking this photo, I was almost run over by a red Dodge Ram on the service road/on-ramp on the right side of the photo. Thankfully as a kid you learn to look both ways before crossing the street. As I was stepping on to the road, instinct took over and I looked right and saw the truck. Death avoided. Gave my dad a scare.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - A severe thunderstorm approaches Peoria, Illinois as seen from a bluff on Fondulac Drive. This storm brought winds up to 80 mph and dumped 8 inches of rain on some places. I captured a few lucky lightning strikes while shooting a time lapse.
The storm came upon us and then went around us at Grass Lake. It wasn't even a bad storm back at home. But we almost lost all the food in the freezer. So glad we have a generator.
Because I stopped to take pictures of this awesome cloud before going into Meijer, I got wet. I think it was worth it.
Sound of distant thunder and the dark band of ominous clouds gave rise to the hope of capturing some lightning. Counting every few seconds and then releasing the shutter, playing the game of odds. But it never was, the storm fizzled out.
Two days after Christmas, a fierce late afternoon storm moves over the southern suburbs of Sydney, seen in this panoramic view stitched from 10 portrait-mode images.
As I was packing up to leave the park, I noticed this isolated storm over the grasslands behind me. I slapped on a graduated FLW filter to give the clouds some extra color and took a few shots.
Now rounding The Skillion at Terrigal. There was a wedding reception taking place in the Rugby Club......what a great vantage point to take in all the drama that was unfolding.
With more storm clouds building over the high ground of Dartmoor Arriva Cross Country's (AXC) early morning service from Glasgow Central to Plymouth passes the caravan site at Wear Farm on the north bank of the River Teign estuary heading west towards Newton Abbot on a bitterly cold mid-afternoon of Friday the 8th of December 2017.
Finally getting around to posting these photos from May 26-27 2018 chase after heading up north a bit late to chase some storms that were about 65 thousand feet near Hannibal, Missouri. The first three photos of clouds are up north. I took my friend Lucas with me who loves the weather but just doesn't get out much because of school and other reasons. So my favorite picture from Hannibal was the updraft with lightning under it and if you look close you can see the moon next to it.
After getting back to Lucas house at 10 pm I looking up in the sky to see what it looks to be rising tower with some very active lightning in it. So after hanging out with him a bit longer helping him with his GoPro I heading out to Fenton to shoot some lightning. Most of the time I would find an open field and shoot lightning but around the St. Louis area its hard to find that. So I shot lightning over Fenton, MO and yes there's some light pollution but I bought a new filter that's suppose to dim down light pollution. Let me tell you how much it works and I love it. It also stops lights being so bright in my shot and drowning my lightning out.
The neat thing about the lightning storm that it stayed isolated and could see for miles. When I was at Lucas house it was about 100 miles away. I love weather and how incredible it can be.

A summer storm over southern England 2007 with cloud lightning and thunder more often seen (and heard) in tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world. Another lightning strike which appeared to be cloud to cloud.
Hard to get a good white balance but all four shots are similar settings.
“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
― Haruki Murakami
I got a really special treat tonight! We don't usually get lightning at night up here in the high country, so I took a drive down to the edge of the Mogollon Rim, just above Camp Verde, to watch the show. I was not disappointed! As I pulled off onto the shoulder of the highway, I could see the storm crossing the Black Hills on the other side of the valley. As it got closer, the lightning really kicked up. I got about 20 minutes of good shooting before getting blasted with hail and 60 mph winds ripping up the hillside. What a show! I had to drive through it the entire way back to Flagstaff, though... It was pretty intense! The visibility was about 20 feet pretty much the whole way home!
