A long overdue addition to the stack and my one of my favorite versions of Scott Sinclair’s amazing album art.

Yesterday's EF-1 #tornado near Essex, Iowa was rated a preliminary width of 3130 yards, or 1.78mi wide. This is the widest tornado on record (since 1950) in the state surpassing an EF-3 on the infamous Mapleton, Iowa tornado outbreak night in 2011. #IAwx

The Aberdeen train yard is still a major hub in the northern midwest. Here’s one from my the last visit.

Omaha, Omaha…

Here’s one from the past two weeks bw style. I don’t see this view of the skyline often represented in images. I think this may be the spot once the new addition is complete.

I’m not sure why this building made an impression, but it did. Here’s one from the past few weeks of all that is commercial real estate in the area.

This wasn’t a planned shot, as I was needed to capture the opposite side, but this caught my eye as I was ascending with the drone today.

When you have many frames of a moment, it’s easy to get lost in finding the best one. I think they’re all great moments and I can’t wait to experience the next one.

Here’s another Badlands frame from 2023.

Sunset, drone-style, Watertown, SD a few weeks ago. I look forward to warmer versions of the beautiful skies. #watertown #southdakot #dji

One of my earliest bolts and one of the moments I realized I can capture these amazing moments. While it’s over/under-exposed, it’s all part of the process.

Do you see that squall line coming your way, Southeast US? See that tornado watch box? Do you like having hi-res radar images and timely warnings for storms like these? Meteorologists - real live people - help keep you safe and informed. Keep NOAA/NWS funded and staffed. Tell your congresspeople.

17 years ago today, Eli Manning and the Giants took down the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.

18 wins and 1 Giant loss.

Pull your climate data now before it's gone, like US health data.

It’s been a minute and I’m still not over catching a storm in The Badlands in 2023 (while driving to Montana)….

While the world literally seems stormy currently, editing old photos feels like a bit of therapy.

A reminder that too often we live our daily lives unaware of the beauty that surrounds us, Namibian Springbok antelopes trundle through a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of colors, set against distant mountains receding into the shade.

I am quickly becoming fascinated with the view of frozen lakes from above. The patterns, color gradients and textures appear as if they’re created with millions of brush strokes.

Here’s a view from above in Watertown, SD this week.
