Because unlike most of the other things we see (or pictures we all take), it ain’t boring? Dangerous maybe, but not boring.
I’m assuming these were taken in the early evening, Ken? I’d have been standing next to you if I’d been smart enough to be looking out the window early enough. My wife saw them first as they passed overhead. Low, dark, and mean. And then the power went out………
Thanks, Paul. This was shot around 7:30 PM Friday. I was on my way home and I almost didn’t stop because it looked a bit dull over the lake. But it didn’t take long for it change and although it got dark rather fast, the rain held off for a bit. Long enough to get a few shots anyway.
Looks pretty ominous… glad I don’t live there 🙂
Nice shots, especially like the first one..
Thanks, John. But that’s what makes Webster Where Life is Worth Living!
Nice shots – I can almost smell the rain!
I forgot to mention the rain. That came later.
I love the top one the best. Awesome storm image.
Thanks, DB. Winds were very high at this point so this only lasted a few seconds.
Wonderful – dramatic – shots.
Thanks, Rabirius.
Awasome pictures Ken, I can hear the storm gathering!
Thanks, Chantal. It was pretty loud.
That roll of cloud is like a breaking wave in the first shot. A dangerous looking cloud. Certainly makes a great image, Ken
Thank, Andy. We get our share of dangerous clouds.
A great image indeed, and “rolling in” is the perfect description too. I like the way the trees show us it is windy in the second picture.
Thanks, ehpem. I do like the scope of the second photo, too. I need to learn to use the movie mode to show the speed at which these cloud formations change, though.
Very dramatic clouds . . . and I think we are attracted to natural disasters out of morbid curiosity, and maybe a hint of a reminder we don’t control everything in our environment.
You think too deep for me. I like it because it’s good looking.
I’ll try to shallow up . . . er . . . down a bit
Why? Bad weather is dramatic. Nice weather is…..eh! Good shots, Ken!
Thanks, John. I know, who likes nice weather?
Oh, ken, no weather is ‘bad’!! Just interesting, intriguing, strange, perhaps overwhelming, but always fascinating — I love ‘bad’ weather, I feel alive in it! Great photos.
Thanks, Janina. We live in an area that doesn’t have tornadoes or hurricanes but we do get an occasionally extraordinary snow storm or the wind picks up and causes a lot of damage. That’s the “bad” weather we experience but the upside is, if you are in the right place at the right time, you can get some great photos. And maybe feel alive in it, too.
Amazing clouds…just fantastic
“Why are we so attracted to really bad weather?” A pull toward power.
Thanks, Steve. This particular piece of bad weather left a little destruction behind and many paces without power.
I’ll put up our Kansas storm clouds up against your wimpy New York “storm” clouds anyday sir! Just kidding, those are really great images, very ominous.
Man, I would love a trip to Kansas during storm season!!! Especially in a rental car!
