Sunday afternoon was looking beautiful right until around 1pm in the afternoon when this wicked storm literally rolled into the area and wreaked havoc for a few hours and now right before the sun sets the clouds have cleared. Watch this timelapse of the storm coming in.

Thanks to an amazing video by an amazing cinematographer philip bloom. I discovered this ghost town through a video he shot. Kim and I were dying to see it in person. So we took the hour and a half drive out there near the border of California and Nevada. We had slept in on this day so we didnt get to hit the road until about 5pm by the time we had reached the town the sun had set and these ominous clouds were rolling in over us. Let me tell you it made for some great video clips. It had started to drizzle a bit so I could only grab a few short time lapses. But I manage to get some great pictures. Now since today we are on our way home i don’t have time to post all the photos so I leave you with one to tease you with. I will post more tomorrow since we are set to arrive back in New Jersey at 10pm at jfk. Thank you all for visiting my blog and checking out our travels. I will see you all when I return home. oh I almost forgot. Here is a bit of history to the town we visited click here
Sincerely,
Anthony Quintano

this image was not adjusted in anyway in photoshop. this is the actual photo from the camera.

What an awesome snowstorm just the way it should be. ALL SNOW. We received around 7 inches yesterday and were expecting another 4 inches sunday. Im loving this winter already. Now it is really starting to feel like christmas.

Especially when our local fire dept. gets in the mood with this little stunt they do each year.

Yesterday’s storm that rolled through turned out to be nothing at all but when it was coming boy I could of sworn a tornado was coming out of this. I ran out to the car to grab my camera so I can grab some more lightning photos when I looked up and saw this. As soon as I stopped It went from quiet to extremly windy, It felt like I was going to get struck by lightning. So I quickly grabbed a few shots of these clouds and ran inside. Im loving this spring already with all these storms
