Storm Skies of The Vermilon River. A Post to Sky Watch.

#1

#2


#3


#4


#6

#7
All these photos were shot during the day. That is the sun, not the moon and the photos are in sequence. To follow them, keep your eye on the small blue spot in the upper left hand quadrant and watch it change as the sun emerges and then disappears again.

In # 1 & 2 the blue patch is shrinking and the sun is hidden by the white cloud totally. In #'s 3,4 & 6 pinks appear in the blue patch as it shrinks and the sun appears.

In #7, the sun is barely visible but the clouds are pitch black, and yes the storm was a beaut!!!

    Beautiful! The sky looked similar in Iowa last Sunday, at first I thought I was seeing the moon but soon realized it was the sun.

    Great storm cloud pictures, - they look quite familiar and mirror the skies we are having here in the Similkameen. Happy New Year.
