I took these photos Wednsday in the late morning as I was preparing to head on out to drive to Telluride with an associate.\u00a0 I’m going to post a series of images from a thunderstorm that we watched last weekend at the end of our hike and saw a new storm starting to form right in front of my office.<\/p>\n

During about a 20 minute conversation I watched this baby grow what I think was an additional 10,000 vertical feet.\u00a0 I never got to see the end result as this one drifted to the east in the hours that followed.<\/p>\n

Note the anvil top on the storm. That is generally caused when the updrafts stop and the upper level winds blow the clouds off in a uniform direction. Directly in front of the anvil is another branch of the storm that continued to grow but was surpassed by another slightly behind it.<\/p>\n

A slightly larger panorama of the skyline.\u00a0 You can see a larger image here <\/a>if you like.<\/p>\n

These images were all shot with my “carry in the car camera,” an old Olympus 4000 which was a replacement for an earlier model that I paid nearly $1,000 for in May of 2000. It’s a 4mp camera that some cell phones currently rival, at least in pixel size.\u00a0 There is some color distortion because of the fact that these were shot through tinted windows.\u00a0\u00a0 I went outside to try and shoot but the view from the 3rd floor was the best I could do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
