The "boundary supercell" west of Broadus kicked off the first of two straight days of harrowing storm intercepts, each featuring a fast-moving supercell in the same area, ahead of which legally fast pacing was possible but difficult. After growing in size, and growing in percentage of the camera view filled thanks to employing a long zoom lens, the storm got much-better organized. A suspicious … [Read more...]
Aerial Autumn, Southern New Hampshire
A mixture of conifer greens, lingering broadleaf greenery and brilliant fall-foliage colors decorated the hills of southern New Hampshire on a clear, post-frontal day, surrounding small lakes. The flight from Boston to Chicago offered several interesting and uncommon visual experiences peering through the window, the erratic splash of autumnal tree color being one. The three top water bodies, … [Read more...]

This made the 19th sunrise photo I've posted from this spot since I first started targeting sunrises here seven years earlier. Working a lot of night shifts, I'm not … [Read more...]
’23 at the Tree
[Part 1 of 2] The first “Sunrise Tree” sunrise of 2023 that I could behold was a stunner visually, and a welcome sight for eyes deprived of sunrises here so far during the cool season. Moments like this temporarily make one forget the shivering cold outside, at least for a few minutes until physiology wins the debate. Mistakenly, I thought the glory and fun were done, once the clouds moved and … [Read more...]
