Stormy Weather Clouds Lingering

Low stormy weather clouds lingering and hovering over a lake with city lights in the distance along the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Blue sky underneath and stars shining just after the sun was setting and dusk was approaching. Scenic landscape view looking northwest toward Loveland.

Now, then and again, I wonder What it is that you see… With those Angry Skies.Well, I bet you wish you could Cut me down with those Angry Skies…You want to believe that I am not the same as you. I can’t concieve, oh no, What it is you’re tryin’ to doWhat a shot you could be if You could shoot at me With those Angry Skies…You tried to defend that You are not the one to blame. But I’m finding it hard, my friend, When I’m in the deadly aim Of those Angry Skies.What a shot you could be If you could shoot at me With those Angry Skies…You have never stopped to realize Blindness binds us together in the foster skies. Can you see me through those Angry Skies?

Sunflower Lightning Thunderstorm 08.16.09

Sunday Aug 16th, 2009 Boulder County Colorado.  Storms have been brewing all day long.   Things are starting to look good for a nice sunset too. So at 7:30pm I took off to maybe get a good sunset over the AMAZING sunflower fields on Rt 52 and 95th street.  Well no sunset but the storm really started to kick up.  This is an shot over the sunflower fields to the north east.

Lightning Thunderstorm  08.05.09

Americans are twice as likely to die from lightning than from a hurricane, tornado or flood.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) estimates there are 200 deaths and 750 severe injuries from lightning each year in the U.S.

20% of all lightning victims die from the strike.

70% of survivors will suffer serious long-term effects.

Annually, there are more than 10,000 forest fires caused by lightning.

Lightning Storm 08.05.09 Thanks DAD!

Wednesday August 5th 8:30pm. WOW what an incredible night.  Lightning started hitting south of the Boulder County Fairgrounds where the County fair is going on.  So now I get this  amazing image in my head of the Lights from the rides and Lightning bolts in the background.  By the time I get there it stops hitting.  So I started photographing the County fair.  And then I get another image in my head the full moon with one of the rides.  And when I get it lined up the clouds cover the moon never to be seen again.  Bummer!

 

Then it happened.  It started hitting the front range… it may have even hit Meeker and Longs Peak.  Something I have never seen since I have been shooting here.   It was tough getting out of there and to a good location.  So I bee lined it to Airport road.  Had to act quick. My first spot was at Silver Creek high school just to try and get a shot of the peaks.  But this location was not good enough… so I went to my old stand by at McIntosh Lake.  Time was of the essence.  It was really smacking the front range pretty good.  Probably the best I have seen here in Colorado hitting the front range maybe even the divide.  It was really hard to tell.  But  at my spot,  I was shooting toward the twin peaks trying to get my dream shot I have been working on.  Some really amazing bolts.  Some of the best yet this year. I will let you be the judge.  It was tough holding it together because of being excited and trying to get set up before it goes away.

 

 And I have to tell you this years storms have been incredible, and for me I some how I believe it is my father up above helping me out.  And I have felt that way all summer long while chasing storms.  And everytime I would nail one I would say ” Thanks Dad!”  And tonight was definitely the best I have seen. 

 

And tonight… is one year to the day my father passed away….  Thanks DAD!

Boulder County Lightning Storm 07.28.09

  Boulder County, Colorado. It’s Tuesday July 28th, 2009.  Stormy thunderhead clouds in the afternoon air. Will this be the day?  Left the house a little after 8:00pm.  Went to my spot by the lake. Not really a sunset tonight.  And then for the first time it started hitting just southeast of Mt Meeker in the foothills over the first ridge.  You could not get a clear shot of it though.

 

Thought this could be the day I get  the shot I have been working on. This is my 2nd year trying to get my dream shot.  Trying to get the twin peaks with some great Lightning action.  It WILL happen even if takes me ten years . So I took off for one of my other spots closest the the peaks.  Hoping it would go north  an start hitting in front of the peaks, but it went out east.  It seem to always be behind a ridge or would not come out of the clouds.    So I did a loop to 36 and then down Nelson road to another shot.  First I shot south east.  Then went further down to antenna mountain but it was not hitting in the right place.  So I headed  south on 59th ave hoping for an image I now have in my mind of a great shot over looking Boulder Res.  But no such luck.  The storm cell is starting to head out east and getting out of my range. Shot for a little while but it was all  clouds to cloud and just over the ridge. I only saw bolts hit the ground a few times.  Got stuck in the rain a couple times and did not come up with worthy Image. Over all it was a GREAT Chase, did not get the Shot I wanted but it is always exciting.

 

Here is what I got. Nothing spectacular.  Lightning Gallery http://www.TheLightningMan.com
