During a stunning and magnificent lightning storm tonite, I scrambled to find a good spot and ended up here. The only problem, it stopped as soon as my tripod was in place. So....imagine this photo with lighting....pretty cool, huh!
this is a storm seen at sunrise from the middle of "baraveli kandu"(one of the biggest -ocean- in Maldives).
Storm at Sea block with custom colouration. I started this quilt over 10 year ago by colouring a line drawing with pencil crayons. Need to add an outside border then decide how to quilt it
These would be the ones giving it to Ipswich and associated areas this afternoon. Seen here about 3:45pm from the Gore Highway at Southbrook.
I understand the storm chasers. There is a certain excitement in the air surrounding a storm.
I skirted the edges of this storm west of Wichita. The radio crackled with the reporters voices as they reported hail and high winds throughout the area. Occasionally a distant lightning strike would pierce the sky.
I managed to stay just out of it. The wind was actually calm. Not blowing, like you would imagine. Maybe I was far enough removed.
I drove these back roads, shooting different scenes. Not a soul in sight.
There is a certain peace to being out there, alone, on the edge of the storm.
We ran straight into an approaching mid-western storm in South Dakota on our 1600-mile drive from Minneapolis to Seattle. It was fast and furious and we had to take cover under a bridge. It was kind of little exciting too.
August 8, 2009, Interstate-90, South Dakota.
Het had het begin van de zomer moeten zijn, maar in plaats daarvan was het donker, dreigend en indrukwekkend.
This was supposed to be the start of summer, the longest day of the year. Instead it was dark, threatening and impressive.
A strange little storm that drifted due north out of Kentucky at 20 mph. Very electric, but most of the bolts were buried in the clouds.
A l'avant d'un front orageux en perte de vitesse sur la plaine d'Alsace, le plafond nuageux prend des allures turbulentes par moments étonnantes.
clouds foam over your starry night
like covers, heavy, you pull them tight
raindrops soak your earthy dreams
leaving worn out views and bulging seams
but monsters of the night are spayed
in darkened closets, and empty places
light makes darkness and gives it faces.
Almost through a pretty big storm in Kansas. I-70. Spring time is always interesting in the Midwest. You have to love the atmosphere we get around here.
Storm rolled in quickly, Dropped a tornado down in the neighboring county then dissipated all within 20 minutes.
Our power company said it was the most destructive storm in 20 years. We have never before had a full-blown nor'easter when leaves were still on the trees. Winds weren't high, but there were over 900 power lines down just in our little river valley.
The left and center frames are two sections of our 500-foot driveway after the storm. Our drive, the vestige of an old wagon road, was bounded by a graceful colonnade of 40-foot oaks. The tops are out of several of them, and their fate is uncertain. We will seek the advice of an arborist.
The right frame shows the driveway after we spent all day chainsawing and dragging branches away. We made it out to the road just at sunset.
We have had trees blown down before, and some of their replacements are now of imposing size and surpassing beauty themselves. It's to be expected that living things come and go. I am reminded of something that artist and master gardener Mistress of Longears once said. "People often ask me about plants that have died. I tell them that we are all going to die."
That being the case, I compose a gratitude list when I work on a sad job like this one. I'm grateful that we live where we do and that we are far enough back from the road that it can take a whole day to get out. We are most fortunate to live in such a beautiful countryside.
I'm grateful that all the animals here (including us) made it through the storm with only a little chill and discomfort.
I'm grateful that the utility company restored our power so quickly. There are whole towns near here that are still without electricity.
I'm especially grateful that we had no injuries. A friend here is in the hospital with a broken back after a tree fell on her while she was cleaning up after the storm. The doctors say she will recover fully, and for that I'm grateful as well.
