Being a person with my head in the sky, I am always looking for new perspectives of clouds….especially when it comes to storms. I received the perfect opportunity to do so the other day (6/26/13) when a strong line of thunderstorms came sweeping through Asheboro near my campus.

Still i the wake of horrible news (see last post), I set forth to cheer up by chasing some medium strength storms around NC. Usually around this part of the U.S. storms tend to have an abundant amount of moisture, usually restricting visibility of the storm structure. However, I was in for a pleasant surprise! … More Wide Open Storms

An incredible weekend for photogenic clouds! I usually go out shooting either sunrise/sunset, or when the clouds are dynamic. This meant a busy weekend for me.
