stormdoctor > This is the uncropped version of the original lightning photo I placed at the beginning of this gallery. I loved the various lines in this photo including the diagonal line of the sunset, the dual lightning bolts, and the gorgeous deep red. Near Limon, CO.
stormdoctor > Field of wheat with high-based storms forming near Burlington, CO.
stormdoctor > I love the sight lines on this storm near Concordia, KS. The fence, the trees, and the clouds all point to a focal point in the low level clouds.
stormdoctor > This storm is near Guymon, OK. I love this photo for many reasons. I used a flash, which illuminated the wheat in the foreground (and caught them as "still" though the rest of the wheat is in motion), and the exposure length was such that I captured the reddening sunset. The foreground clouds show a wave-appearance consistent with the outflow from this non-severe storm (whose precip core is off to the right of the photo).
stormdoctor > I loved the trees which are native to the area of the Red River Valley.
stormdoctor > I was absolutely amazed by this shot. From a storm perspective, the vault of light you see in the center background is due to penetration of a clear slot as this storm repeatedly tried to rotate and form a tornado. It never would get organized sufficiently to do so, unfortunately. But here it is pulsing and the rotation is sufficient to generate a clear slot that allowed light to filter through the back of the storm. In the foreground clouds there is a wall cloud forming. As this feature evolved, it developed a couplet with a new rain free base forming to the left (south). That was the order of the day as southward propagation of the updrafts (with undercutting of those same updrafts by outflow to the north) failed to allow tornadic development. The green fields and the white fence were spectacular contrasts.
stormdoctor > Near Capulin Volcano National Monument in northeast NM. This was an outflow-dominant, cold storm that had formed on the orographic lift of the mountains near Trinidad, CO. As this gust front moved over the Plains, the plateau struck me as striking in contrast to the darkened, wintry sky.
stormdoctor > Intense electrical storm near Sayre, OK. The strike to the left set off an impressive structure fire and wildland fire that fortunately was extinguished by the quick thinking of neighbors, and by the dowsing intensity of an amazing HP wet downburst. The home was threatened, but the flames extinguished shortly thereafter.
stormdoctor > No one but me seems to like this photo. I loved the intensity of the green pasture, the seemingly oblivious cattle, and the intense precip core bearing down on them just 1/2 mile away. I guess it was the color that struck me. This was near Sayre, OK.
