Shot across the bay between swells of the storm… The storm came across the sound very quickly right at sunset, so the fast-moving clouds made a new painting every few minutes… This one is my favorite from the batch I took.

Here are some nice textures, scattered around this unique restaurant in Palm Beach.

An early morning thunderstorm comes across the Atlantic towards Palm Beach in Florida…

It’s just slightly nicer than the Motel 6 way down the road, and they even let you play soccer there in the grass.

I was lucky that it was very stormy there and the rain let up right at dusk.

This is one of the most famous hotels in Palm Beach.

I was about to take down the top but I was afraid of another swell rolling in!

Complete with deadly alien shadows…

This is the famous Breakers hotel in Palm Beach. I have a good friend and partner there that lets me borrow his Jag whenever I come into town, so it was better than the old economy mid-size from Avis that I was used to!

The lounge area of the Breakers in Palm Beach has some very cool light-based sculptures. I’ve never seen anything quite like them. The hotel staff eyed me suspiciously as I went around with my tripod to get pictures. They kept looking at one another with a "I’m sure he got permission to do that" kinda look…

A few days ago I posted a picture of the storm at the airport here in Palm Beach. I was contemplating flying into the heart of the storm instead of sitting in a room full of attorneys for the day. Today I chose the latter and it was about as much fun as it sounds. It was my first time through this particular experience and it wasn’t what I would call a rockin’ good time. I wish I could have said, “Your honor, the witness (me) is being badgered” but there was no judge, just a bunch of lawyers quoting rules and regulations I’ve never heard of. I think, technically, lawyers have formed a sovereign nation who have created a set of rules that abstract them and all behavior from regular society. That’s another pseudo-sociological concept I am working on, but is a rather empty thing to really think about unless you are on a break in one of those badgering-sessions.

After the session, I headed out to get some pictures around Palm Beach. I twisted my ankle in an effort to get this one… that dock is even more uneven than it looks!
