Weather Imagery

Every aspect of the weather fascinates me, including things as mundane as the clouds. This fascination probably manifested itself early in childhood. Growing up and living the first 24 years of my life on the beaches of sunny Southern California offered little in the way of exciting weather, unless fog excites you. I remember as a kid reading books and seeing pictures of huge super cells and clouds bubbling from beneath and thinking the pictures were fake. Nothing could look that cool and be natural. It wasn’t until I moved to Colorado and saw for myself what Mother Nature had to offer.

Below are pictures of some clouds I’ve seen while living here in Colorado. There are more to come.

This storm was popping out 2 inch hail and at one point looked as if it were going to spawn a tornado. I was about 30 miles west of the Kansas and Colorado border on Highway 70.

This was the backside of a huge supercell that passed over Falcon, Colorado. The mammantus clouds were awesome looking!
