Vanishing Points
“I’ve never seen such prominent anticrepuscular rays as we had this evening. Truly amazing. Just for clarity – this shot was taken looking directly away from the sunset towards the east.” Pictures of Clouds and Sunsets credit: David Evenson

Wide Angle Sunset
I wanted a wider angle shot of the fields where I took some shots the other night, so I dug out my 10.5 mm fisheye. You can see the Flatirons on the left all the way up the horizon towards Fort Collins on the right. Pictures of Clouds and Sunsets credit: David Evenson

Setting Sun on Long’s Peak and Indian Peaks
Interesting facts: The smaller the drops in a cloud the brighter the tops appear (and the darker the bases). Smaller droplets scatter more sunlight, while large drops allow more sunlight to pass through. This explains why the heavily raining part of a shower cloud or thunderstorm is usually brighter than just the cloudy part. The cloud droplets have combined into large raindrops, which allow more sunlight to pass through them. Pictures of Clouds and Sunsets credit: David Evenson

Sod Farm & Thunder Cells
I was driving past this sod farm and looking at the light and cloud formations. Then the endless sprinkler came into view. Had to pull over. Pictures of Clouds and Sunsets credit: David Evenson

Nebraska Supercell 
Sun shines under long-lived supercell moving across northeast Nebraska May 28, 2004, almost following highway 12 from Niobrara down to Sioux City perfectly. Pictures of Clouds and Sunsets credit: extremeinstablity.com.

Lightning Storms

Lightning Storm
We had the most incredible lightning storm I’ve ever seen last night. Literally multiple strikes every second or so for close to 40 minutes. Unfortunately most of the strikes seemed to be arcing around inside the clouds, so I didn’t see many bolts, but I did catch one. Pictures of Clouds and Sunsets credit: David Evenson
