And lastly, I'm trying to find storm chasers to follow here on the Fediverse. I know a lot of have moved from Twitter to Bluesky, but I was really hoping to find a good number of folks on Mastodon and such. With resources for NOAA and related in question, it's good to get as much information from boots on the ground as possible. I'll follow Bluesky but I'd rather follow Mastodon. #stormchaser #stormchasing

Shiprock, from my 1500 mile storm chasing trip out there this fall. Lightning was striking all over the place, but always too far west or north or south or way out east or on the wrong side or I was in the rain or or or... But I got this one!

At first I thought "eh, both the rock and bolt are so tiny and far away and hazy that it won't amount to much," but it was sharp enough that I could crop in, up-res it, dehaze it, sharpen up the bolt and end up with a pretty spectacular shot. It's going in my print sales lineup (if I can ever resolve all the vexing website setbacks), so hit me up if you want to be notified when it's available.
