Clouds and Sky

Cumulonimbus On Blue Sky

Mini Storm/ Storm Cloud Panorama at Sunset

A small, yet very powerful storm blew through in under five minutes last spring, with intense lightning and wind. Within twenty minutes of the first rain, this was the sight of the storm rolling east. You could here the thunder as the storm caught the beginning of the sunset. This is a two shot pano of the storm cloud. Horsham PA-US

Forming Cumulonimbus with Anvil Cloud

Turbulence

A lonely jet flies among some ominous and beautiful clouds. Rough flying is the nature of the world on some days.

Atmospherics

A twin prop plane flying through sun rays on a summer afternoon. Great clouds this day, the plane and rays just presented themselves at the perfect moment. Montgomeryville, PA-USA

Milky Way Rising

The Milky Way begins its nightly trip through the sky. Shot in the small town of Afton, Wyoming-US, which is part of the aptly named Star Valley. You can see the galaxy with impressive detail with the naked eye.

Smiling Skies

A rainbow, or a circumzenithal arc, showing the spectrum of colors in high altitude cirrus clouds in the blue sky. Never saw one before!

Fire Cloud

A strange looking cloud is lit up like fire at sunset in my neighborhood last night. It kind of looked like the incoming alien ships in Independence Day, wherer they lit the sky on fire. I have some other good shots to play with, but this is more of a straight up context photo showing the house next door and surroundings. Newtown, PA-US
