Storm Lion

Those clouds seemed nicely fluffy and white and photogenic when I stopped to get them posing behind a stone lion. Later that night, however, in a town 120 miles away, hailstones were so large they crashed through roofs AND ceilings and landed on the floor. And in another direction, about the same distance, a tornado caused damage in a small town. I don’t think the lion knew what was going to happen, but I guess you never know with stone lions, do you?

Cloud, as flag

It’s probably just me, but it looks like the silo spent the afternoon flying a cloud-flag.

When I should have had a red filter

I am my own worst enemy. How much room does a red filter take up? None, practically. How much better are b+w photos with sky and clouds when you use one? A lot. Yet somehow, there I was shooting without one.

Apocalyptic much?

Catch of the Day

The Minnesotans where we stayed told us many times that the lake was unusually smooth, so I guess it was. But I guess these fishermen (fisherpersons?) were happy about it.

(Also, that skinny strip of land in the background is Wisconsin. I knew you were wondering.)
