Welcome to another Manic Monday with Morgen. Don't forget to cruise by MM QG at the Manic Monday blog. Today's theme is Cell.
The first thing that came to my mind was Storm Cell. As destructive as these weather systems can be, they are also extraordinarily beautiful.
So beautiful, but so destructive. Everything beautiful seems to be dangerous.
Yup, they can be very beautiful, Trav! I've never seen one as beautiful as these up close and personal. Most of the big storms I've seen have been hurricanes and tropical storms and looking at them from my POV, they were just dark and ominous.
Sweeeeeeet. Perfect choice as far as I am concerned. I am a weather Freak. Nice. Cheers Trav!!
Somehow they remind me of Boils, but much more beautiful, and ultimately more dangerous.
those are amazing!
you almost expect to see a large spaceship emerge...smile.
I've never seen anything like that. You're right. They're beautiful. Deadly, but beautiful!
You should check out Storm Chasers on the Discovery channel...they get some great shots!!

You picked some incredible photos, Trav. Frightening yet beautiful.
Oh, and Matty said he's a weather freak. I thought he was just a freak in general. *grin*
That last one looks like an atomic cloud! Great shots, Trav. I didn't even think of a storm cell. Very cool. I'm manic about cell phone etiquette today.
WOW!!! I LOVE those pics!!! So amazing, the power and force that lies within all that beauty!
you are correct...storms can be beautiful in their destructive way
Absolutely beautiful and destructive, yes, but I'm sure they fit into the big scheme of things in the world somehow. If nothing else, they provide us with some gorgeous views of nature, right?
Yes, I always love those kinds of pictures. Mother nature does some incredible stuff!
Wow, those photos are amazing. I'd hate to have to see them in person though!
Oh yeah, they're gorgeous!
