Really, really lovely cumulonimbus action tonight! I just happened to have my drone in the car and got some solid shots of DT Seattle/Lake Washington/Mercer Island/Bellevue looking north from Skyway. Alas, the focal length of the lens doesn't do the vertical height justice and my WB was off rendering it into semi-gross HDR territory, but still... fun looking weather! It was quite windy- I was flying right at 390 ft and the drone was giving me all sorts of warnings about sustained winds/gusts.

We need some sparks to fly. The dull economy would be a good place to start.
The DFW area is still growing. A lot a disillusioned west coasters. I hate the traffic. Many adapt well, but some try to shame us for our culture. I say join or die, as the colonists said to the British, or just go somewhere else.
