Sparkles in Jokulsarlon

By

Normally, photography back into the bright glare of the sun isn't a great idea, but rules have exceptions.  If I were fixated on what was visible with the sunshine behind or abeam of me, this scene forever would be lost; instead, it became one of my favorites among many from Iceland's dazzling iceberg lagoon, Jokulsarlon.  The water-smoothed clarity of the ice, blackened in swaths with embedded … [Read more...]

Sundown Grooming

By

When I've found myself located between storms for a Great Plains sunset, a marvelous experience has unfolded.  This was no exception.  Under a tumultuously colorful sky crowned by the anvil of a supercell well to our SW, the good folks of Groom bid goodbye to another springtime day. 8 ESE Groom TX (25 May 10) Looking WNW 35.1824, -100.972 … [Read more...]
