Last weekend at the peak of the a snowstorm I went out on a shoot with Mitchster. We had several spots in mind but in the end what turned out to be the only good spot was the downtown Minneapolis area. It was quite an ordeal dealing with the cold wind and blowing snow, but it was worth it.
I’ve visited this spot many times around sunrise, always looking for a shot. This is what I found this morning. The sun was already fairly high, and appeared to be drawing the mist towards it.
Odd title, isn’t it? I was sitting around watching the animal channel on cable, something about the ‘Monster Inside Me’, a show about disgusting parasites that invade your body, while keeping a eye on twitter on my computer. @MNHeadhunter said ‘Please someone in Minneapolis get a pic of this amazing sky/sunset … ‘. Looked outside and saw a cool sunset indeed, as we often get after some severe weather moves through the area. So grabbed camera and headed to top of hill where I have a great view looking out west. Here’s there result.
Saw this thunderstorm on the way back from a weekend at our camper up north. You could easily see its explosive growth by just watching it for few seconds. The anvil at the top of the cloud forms when the top of the thunderstorm reaches high enough to get caught in the upper level winds.
