Shine Down on Me

Waiting to get picked up I saw this sun burst through the clouds and over the Central Library garage. Now this is a misnomer, because the city runs the garage, it's just located by the Central Library, but I digress. I shot this in color too, but for once I wanted to go for the gray shades, especially to help the boundaries of the light and shadow stand out.

Off Kilter City

Took this shot on the way into work. It's been really rainy in San Antonio lately, so gray skies have been more the norm than blue ones. In the background you can see the Tower of Americas (heard all their elevators will be in working order soon) and that under construction stuff is going to be some huge hotel.

Peek-a-Boo

On the drive in to work we played peek-a-book with the Tower of America's. We've been getting so much rain lately that I guess the clouds are kind of hanging low. It wasn't foggy, the top of the tower was just hidden by low flying clouds. I wondered what it looked like from the observation tower, and hell even from the elevator.

Rainy Days in SA

Yesterday started out grey and just got greyer (Is that a word?) When we were driving into work it wasn't raining. When I went to grab breakfast a bit later it was raining and I got wet...had to dry off with a hand dryer, since I can't seem to keep an umbrella. When I went to lunch I got wet again. There was a few really loud thunder booms and at least one lightning strike that made us lose power—although we didn't realize until later.

You'll notice the palm on the lower left hand side of the picture. You'll see many of these around San Antonio, and I don't think they're native, but who knows maybe there are...are there any tree people out there that know the answer? If so pass it on, cause my enquiring mind wants to know.

Blue Skies are Gonna Clear Up

I couldn't believe it when I saw this sky. It was so blue and so crystal—the boundary between the white clouds and the blue sky was so sharp. It had been raining before this, but this was a beautiful day, if a bit hotter than I would like.

Clouds on Radio

I think I might have shown something similar to this before, but this day the clouds really struck me. I just like the way the whole image came together.

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling, Roll On

Saw this as the rain was rolling into downtown SA. I don't think I'd ever seen a cloud like this. Later on on the news, the weather caster (sounds like some kind of witch, huh?) said it was a roll cloud. I just like the way it looked, especially with the red library backdrop.
