There has been so much talk about cyclones/tornados in the past few years as they seem to be on the increase each year. A couple of years ago a photographer friend of my son in Dallas shared these and David later sent them to Adam who shared them with me. They are so spectacular I decided to share them with you today. They are both gorgeous and terrifying to look at.

It never ceases to amaze me how stunning nature can be - even when it is being the most threatening.
your friend is an incredible photographer!!
Good morning Sylvia,
Those are incredible photographs that reveal an awesome power.

Wow! Those are awesome!
Wonderful and terrifying photos. I am so grateful that I have never experienced such a powerful force of nature.
These are amazing, stunning pictures. As far as I remember I have never seen these kind of clouds in the Netherlands.
Yes, they are terrifying, but spectacular, too! The next time a hurricane hits Hawaii, I'll be sure to photograph the sky.
Sorry, I made a link to my Dutch site. Through this one you will know me better.
The photos are beautiful but having weathered a few of them while living in Kentucky and here in WV I have a real fear of them.
Amazing, and makes me want to go dig a root cellar!!
These are amazing, beautiful, and terrifying all at once.
These energetic skies remind me of growing up in Illinois.
Can you feel it in the air?
Terrifying is right! How everyone was ok.
It is amazing how beautiful something that dangerous can be. You captured the power and beauty so well.
oh boy those are ultimate sky watch photos. thanks for sharing.
Awesome, Sylvia. But they also look a bit scary.
Those are amazing. What a perspective. Like cotton candy, somehow. So gorgeous.
Sylvia: What really neat shots of the tornatic activity.
That was impressing indeed! You must have been terrified - glad we don't have those.
Wow. Those are incredible photographs!
Wow is all I can say.....thanks for sharing these with us Sylvia, I am in awe.
Have a great weekend!

Wow ....what a great fiend to share these pictures with you and you then with us. Must have been really scary to have been living in those farms down on the ground!
Wow! Your clouds skares me, but they were great too. Have a nice weekend:)
The pictures ARE both gorgeous and terrifying to look at. And I am soHAPPY that you did not take them yourself! Your umbrella would have been a mess,too :)
Thanks for your visit and have a great weekend! What about the tulips in your region? Still sleeping?
Spectacular! I love the big skies of the American Wet and Midwest. What's the photographer's name?
These are remarkable and incredible images. These have to be the best this week. No contest, but they are awesome.
he only thing I can say is WOW! What a sky and captured perfectly, I don't know if I could stay and take photographs as I would be headed the other way.
OMG they look wonderful but scary too.
Well done.

Wow, Sylvia, they're like something out of a fairy-tale book or a wonderful dream; but my God how frightening they must be to someone seeing it 'live'. Such danger and such beauty together.
What an amazing skywatching post!!

What an amazing skywatching post!!
"gorgeous and terrifying" those are certainly the right words.
Yay, that's something! I love it but so terrifying...
Wow! these are scarey. Great photos, but I hope I never see them in my sky.
Unbelievably fantastic pictures - well, our puny little stormy nights in England can clearly not hold up to THAT!
Great series! Couple of them are scary though.
Sylvia, those are almost unbelievable. Glad I wasn't there and that the photog was so I can see them safely. Wow! I also like your post below. Things we sometimes forget.
Thanks so much for your comment on my Skywatch guest post. Much appreciated.
I hopt to never experience a tornado except through stunning photos like these!
Fascinating, but I don't want to be the guy with the camera in these!
Wow! The power of nature -- "awesome" in the true sense of the word.
