The theme for this month is - Inclement Weather.
Enjoy!

A storm that circled around me just over 180 degrees. Just after this, the dogs started whining so it was time to leave!

Posted this in ESS a while back. Tetons during a storm in late July - no lightning like Laurent's though.

Taken from Tunnel View one early morning in early April. I call this "Approaching storm".

I've posted this a time or two before, but I'll have to go with my moonbow & lightning shot.

Jack, that is a true change-your-undies shot!

Should be some incredible images this month.
Summer storms in Utah's west desert.

What an amazing shot, Jeff! Just perfect for b&w, too.
You're right...already some outstanding work posted here.

Looks like something out of "War of the Worlds", Wow very nice Jeff. Glad I don't have to pick this months winner, going to be a tough one.
Posted by Brian Jackson on September 8, 2009 at 11:52 AM
Wow Jack, that is amazing. I bet that will get your attention
Posted by Jack Garrett on September 8, 2009 at 7:02 PM
Ouch Jack, I can feel that from here. I bet the boomer left your ears ringing!
Posted by Todd Caudle on September 8, 2009 at 9:53 PM
Jeff, that shot is AMAZING! Never seen anything quite like it.

No lightning for me, but I saw this nice storm in Arches this May -- I may have posted this one before, but oh well
Posted by Paul Martin on September 9, 2009 at 6:33 PM
I guess there's this...
Posted by Morris McClung on September 14, 2009 at 8:20 PM
Holy Moly are there some incredible images so far!
Jeff, that shot is truly amazing, as well as Jack's, and Gran'ts. Heck, all of them are.

Here's a shot I took a few years ago just before getting hammered by a fast-approaching storm.

Scenes From My Commute - #12
Rainbow over Mesa Verde with Chimney Rock in the background.
This is shaping up to be an excellent series of images!
Posted by Scott Fricke on September 15, 2009 at 9:34 PM
Wow John, I don't think I would mind your commute at all. Terrific image!
Posted by Laurent Baig on September 17, 2009 at 3:34 PM
Monsoon over the Chiricahua. Ok if I post two :-) This stuff is so exciting. Great images from everyone!
Posted by Bret Edge on September 18, 2009 at 12:51 AM
Jack: Your photo from the Needle mountains seriously made my pulse quicken and my palms sweaty. Holy crap, that is exactly why lightning freaks me out!
Posted by Bret Edge on September 18, 2009 at 12:53 AM
A snowstorm adds a little interest to the view of Turret Arch through North Window.
Posted by Jeff Hackett on September 18, 2009 at 11:33 PM
Here's one more. I just captured this tonight on the edge of a storm at sunset about a half hours hike up in the hills by our house. Awesome images everyone!
Posted by Stan Rose on September 19, 2009 at 1:43 AM
Heres one from close to home--lake Pueblo storm.
Posted by Pam Colander on September 20, 2009 at 12:11 AM
Good luck picking the cover this time...these are all rediculously awesome Mine was taken after dark looking west towards Mt Princeton.
Posted by Erik Aagaard on September 21, 2009 at 4:34 PM
It doesn't compare to Jack's lightning shot in the "oh, crap" factor, but this one impressed me at the time as being mighty close for comfort!
Posted by Erik Aagaard on September 21, 2009 at 4:35 PM
And here's a more picturesque shot - the aftermath of an epic thunderstorm on the Masai Mara, right at sunset.
Posted by Bret Edge on September 22, 2009 at 11:45 AM
I love that Masai Mara photo, Erik. Awesome!
Posted by Guy Schmickle on September 23, 2009 at 3:40 PM
A stormy sunset near Wolf Creek Pass. What a fun thread to look through!
These are all really great. This was looking west from Castle Rock toward Dawson Butte.
Posted by Laurie Wendt on September 29, 2009 at 10:08 PM
I have 1 for this. Departing storm clouds made for some nice light! Awesome lightning shots everyone.
Posted by Jim Casteel on October 6, 2009 at 12:08 PM
Some amazing photos. It seems that I am blessed with always having clear blue skies when I go out shooting. This is one of the rare exceptions. Storm over Lake Katherine in Mt. Zirkel.
