Autumn storm near Taos, New Mexico. Wildflowers: Bird’s Beak
I recently watched a very interesting documentary about the perilous state of our planet, and things we can do to affect the course of necessary change. Narrated by Leonardo Dicaprio I highly recommend seeing this film, The 11th Hour
Storm in Calgary, Alberta
I have yet to see a tornado in Texas since we moved there, yet here is the first one I’ve ever seen, about to touch down in Airdrie, near Calgary Alberta while we’re on holidays.
Watching it form is surreal, and though it’s not far away I don’t feel in any danger. It formed a perfect funnel then I watched it pull back again, spawning a skinny long string-like tornado, then dissolve.
The associated clouds are ominous and dark in contrast to the sunny neighborhood where I’m standing. I learned later this afternoon that the tornado touched down in a farmer’s feild for a few moments.
"Images and ideas are powerful, and presenting them is what I do best, ultimately as a traditional Artist, but I do not limit the means to expression and increasingly appreciate photography as an Art form. My camera is a Canon EOS50D."
