A strong line of thunderstorms moved through the area today which consisted of some impressive cloud formations. What really struck me was the rate at which the clouds were traveling. So a whipped out my point and shoot and captured some footage.

With the release of the Ghosts I-IV album a few months ago, Nine Inch Nails has been holding a film festival on YouTube. The idea being to take the tracks from Ghosts and apply imagery you feel fits the tracks best. And since the album was released under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike license, this is a legit use of the music.

I thought my cloud footage fit nicely with one of the Ghosts tracks, so this is my submission.

I witnessed this awesome meteorological phenomena coming out of the mall after picking up my Macbook Pro from getting repaired.

Update: I thought the above picture would make a cool desktop picture that would span both of my monitors. So I created it. It’s obviously customized to my working environment, but I figured I’d post it up anyone else who may want to use it.
