De Kalb, IL Shelf...errr... almost a shelf....9/17/12

I spent the majority of my day downloading data for some research I am working on.  The lengthy downloading process allowed me to leave work a bit early to beat the rain home (I rode my bike). Well, I beat it home and decided to head just outside of town a bit to try and catch a developing shelf.  It look promising for about 10 minutes then fell apart.  The photos below catch the resulting 'crapvection'.  Either way, I made it home in time for dinner.  Let's hope that Davis Hall didn't lose power so my data continued to download.  Enjoy. 

De Kalb, IL Windfarm 2.0 9/9/12

My good friend Grant Herbert shot me a text around 5 PM asking if I wanted to head out later for some sunset photos.  Of course, I decided to tag along and have a look with it being so nice outside.  The smell of the fall air is back and I love it.  Below are the shots I grabbed.  Enjoy.
