Weather 2: Weather or Not

October 23, 2013

Photograph terrestrial based weather phenomena: sunshine, clouds, rain, snow, fog, wind, lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, sleet, hail, ice, mudslides, flooding and rainbows.  For photos in which the main subject isn't the weather itself but rather evidence of weather, the subject should be directly affected or interacting with the weather.  Difficulty: Each entry must have a different kind of weather.

You can also view the photos that didn't make the cut for this contest – the B-Sides.

An E-Z Up Tumbleweed from Wakarusa 2013 (Weather type: WIND, and lots of it)

Tornadic storms hit the campground overnight and blew all the E-Z Ups around until they gathered in groups like tumbleweeds.
The next day, people started hanging random objects on them and they became “art installations.”
