To gaze at the sky...
actually, this is looking down at the earth from above the clouds.
But no worry, the photos below will get us viewing in the right direction...
(Please be patient, these are tough loads...)
There are not very many photos here as mild weather
leaves good photos hard to come by....
I apologize for this...
please do not fall asleep at the controls,
indeed we are way up here....
Let us drift downward and see what storms brew below....
Ah...that one storm. Look at those swirling clouds.
It came suddenly and was considered significant by Northwest standards,
but it's measly crumbs in comparison to the midwest and south.
In fact I personally saw nothing but swirling clouds.
No thunder, lightning, or wind. I don't remember any rain either for that matter.
The thing about this little sky tizzy was the 40,000 foot tops
on the clouds coming in...which is unheard of around here...
(remember, if you keep focused on the 98223 area code
I informed you about, then this storm will sound impressive...trust me)
big cumulous build up ...it was awe-inspiring...I'm sure those tall clouds
intimidated our meteorologists in this area. I know Jeff Renner was surprised...
Yup, Mammatus clouds...they don't happen at 98201 very often. This was taken
with cheap camera stategically placed in vehicle for car accidents.
Good move.
Well, well this is pride and joy. We were getting lightning every 4 seconds, great for
photography. Once again (think 98223), this is not a big deal to people down south but...
hey we'd better keep moving....we're about to drop below the clouds....
a nice shot here. after unloading two rolls of film on
this storm, I reaped this gem...nice work...
That's it for now...
Ok, put the goggles back on ....
We're going to descend ...
Keep both hands on the controls and do exactly as I say .
Bring the control down to the link, press the left button
down, close your eyes, grit your teeth,suck in some
oxygen and let the button go.....
