thunderstorm: San Antonio Camera Phone on RErockstar.com - There's A Storm Brewing - 05/24/09 11:34 AM


I've always loved thunderstorms.
Today was a gorgeous day, but a storm was on its way.  As it approached and I noticed the change, I went into the middle of my street to check it out.  The above photo is the approaching storm as it built up on what had been a perfect, gorgeous day.  I decided to use the photos for my San Antonio Camera Phone series on my RErockstar site.  I didn't want to write an essay of the storm though, so I had more photos than I needed or thought would look good in the post, … (10 comments)

thunderstorm: Hey San Antonio - Do you remember what this is? - 02/02/09 10:56 AM

When was the last time you saw this?
Remember rain?  Remember thunder and lightning?  I do...just barely.  I took this photo last year at the HEB on Guilbeau Rd (near Bandera).  It had been a beautiful day, but suddenly as I approached the parking lot, things got dark really fast.  If you look off in the distance of the right side of the photo, you can actually see the rain showers coming down to the northwest.  I remember standing there in the parking lot for a few moments, just amazed at the power of thunderclouds and how quickly they can … (15 comments)
