Utah’s badlands at dawn.
Early morning I got out of my tent grabbed my 70-200mm lens and started shooting the surreal landscapes. In between a made me a coffee and enjoyed this morning so much. I’ll never get tired of these desert.

To be honest I don’t remember exactly where I got this bolt. I think it was somewhere in southwest Kansas. Anyways. I founder on my hard drive and thought I like it.

Afternoon full of doubts turned into a great chase day. Initially a first storm of day started and looked promising, but didn’t make it. A second storm was brewing to the southwest but was struggling for almost an hour to get things done. In the end it was the right choice to stay patient.

Sharing my favorite cloud/storm of all time for #CloudAppreciationDay.

Hard to believe its already almost the two year anniversary of the Ada, OK storm.

A supercell thunderstorm at night with pancake-stacked structure and lightning protruding out from the clouds in a few directions. A clear, starry sky sits to the left, and a gravel road extends out to the horizon.

Just moments before the Morton Wedge touched the ground wild scenes took place. The new rotation is already sucking dirt like crazy.

This storm came out of nowhere. After leaving a weakening storm we saw a towering cloud to the south and decided to give it a chance. It went from nothing to supercell mode in just 20 minutes. A chase to remember.

This one was old school. Setup a Timelapse and crossed fingers 😂

Eastern New Mexico, where random scattered showers are beautiful!

The first storm of the day didn’t look very promising. Fortunately there was another one forming along the dryline so we gave it a go. Soon after things got interesting with some structure and nice bolts.

Still in awe about this storm. One of the best scenes I’ve ever seen in over 25 years of storm chasing. Already linking forward to 2026 🤘

The arrival of the glorious Nara Visa supercell was already very pretty. Glad this storm moved along a road to follow it!

Powerful #lightning strikes hit the area around Stoneham, Colorado as a supercell is gaining strength.

Things got serious when this Tornado dropped right in front of us. At this point we are looking straight to the north. Fortunately the dust wasn’t too bad at this time to get a clear view. After that dust would be a big challenge for the rest of the day. #tornado #texas

Got this dusty noodle near Akron, Colorado on May 23rd. First it was just a wall of dust but later in its lifecycle it showed us its beauty. 🌪️
