Storm photographer snaps 'eye of God'

A US photographer has captured an incredible photograph of a storm as it unleashed a torrent of rain on a Montana field.


The image, titled "Mothership", was taken by Montana photographer Sean Heavey earlier this year during a storm chasing expedition

How cool is this pic?
Next someone will say it's an ET mothership..

Anyways, with all the BS with wiki and Korea lately, I thought it would be nice to share some earth time..
There's a link to the photographers homepage on the posted link..
Enjoy..

Thank you for that. It's an amazing pic that once again drops our jaws in awe of our beautiful planet. The more time we spend in communion with Mother Nature, the more you appreciate her poetic perfection.

Thanks, even more awsome as a screensaver..
When enlarged you can see blue sky on the left..Looks unreal..

Utterly amazing! Great photography.

Beautiful photo; thanks for sharing it.

It is a nice break from the other current threads.

This pic is in the National Geographic photograph contest. If you go to their site you'll see many more amazing pics like this.

Wow!!!
I can safely say I have NEVER seen anything like it.
Amazing......and beautiful.

Beautiful pic. The last time I saw green clouds, a tornado almost got me. I don't like green clouds anymore.

But Hubble has already captured the 'eye of God'....

I saw it posted here yesterday also

I hit that site every morning first thing antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov...
You can go down and hit the "archive" and see their stuff for many years - 1 shot a day - a nice way to start my day. I replace my wallpaper with them whenever I ever find a new one better than my current wallpaper.
