picks of the week, keeping Weatherbrains foghorn free for JB.

I'm Dave Phillips, from Winston Salem, NC.   You can follow me on Twitter, @Skydaver, and on Google+, http://gplus.to/skydaver


Pick number one is a short collection of some great weather pictures.  I found these at inspirefirst.com

The second pic comes from the Big Picture.  They have a collection of National Geographic pictures of the year, and many of them are cloud formations and other weather phenomena.

Finally, from the Capital Weather Gang, a post about stacked lightning photos.  These are composite photos of multiple lightning strikes at a single location.
