Two major updraft areas, fronting thin but severe cores, spectacularly spanned half the sky in this little piece of the Colorado High Plains. The left and main one curves around a substantial, if high-based, supercell, while the updraft at right erupted along the supercell’s forward-flank/inflow interface. This crazy light just lasted for a couple minutes in the “golden hour” before more muted blues and reds set in, but long enough to run a pano. I’m glad I tried, and that I got far enough southwest of the storms to behold this astonishing scene. This image motivated creating a Panoramics gallery in SkyPix.
