Visually spectacular "sculpted" supercell thunderstorm near Woodrow on high plains of eastern Colorado earlier today (6/8/24). This storm featured a blue-green & ground-scraping shelf cloud (& dust storm beneath) so wide I could not fully capture even with wide angle lens! #COwx

Photograph taken by Daniel Swain on 6/8/2024 of a supercell thunderstorm near Woodrow, CO exhibiting visually spectacular structure (as described further in the main post).

This photo is a snapshot from my smartphone camera (those have gotten pretty good, apparently!) but an even wider angle shot from my DSLR will eventually show up on my Instagram account (on which, BTW, I *only* post photographs of clouds!). https://www.instagram.com/weather.west

@weatherwest Wow, what a picture! Nature is so amazing and fascinating - I never stop being surprised and interested, no matter how devastating it might be for humans, animals or plants.

Mother Nature rocks! :perfect: :polarbear:
