6-photo photomerge of Osaka, Japan and the Yodo River

Today’s photo was taken just after a big storm. In fact, the observation deck in the Umeda Sky Building was closed due to lighting strikes in the area just before reopening in time for me to grab this image.

Last weekend’s trip to visit Whitman College and Oregon State University featured “between storms” conditions nearly the whole time. As a big fan of crazy clouds, I was pleased.

Even though I’ve lived in Oregon for almost 16 years, and had visited the state many times before that, this was my first time in Corvallis. This building on the OSU campus was awesome, especially with the dark clouds closing in. Turns out the building is a residence hall! They didn’t make dorms like this where I went to school…

I had hours to kill in Walla Walla last Friday. I was thinking about going to Palouse Falls, but it rained all morning, and I didn’t want to drive over 3 hours round trip with a chance of not seeing the falls due to rain. When things cleared up I opted for a shorter drive and walk (from Rooks Park to Bennington Lake where this photo was taken). The sky was really pretty the entire time. In some ways I was regretting not seeing Palouse Falls with such a spectacular sky, but it was too late at that point to make the trip. Next time…
