[Christopher E. Kincaid]

These seem to be popular threads, so I thought I would start this one. Anything non-severe... sunsets, rainbows, clouds, etc.

Here is one of mine - more to follow:

I guess mine would have to be this rainbow shot taken south of Silverton, TX back in May.

We may not get much severe weather in Hawaii, but we do get some nice sunsets. Here are a few of my favorites. The cloud w/ the crepuscular rays was in KS last month.

Very well done, Jim. The 4th one is insane!

Thanks Mike. I like the color in yours as well. I always liked the palm trees sunsets. Nice pics from all.

Contrail shadows. This sunset made it feel like I was in a gigantic size room. Truely puts you in your place.

Ok, so a few of these are really from '07 but they were from December so I thought I could squeeze them in as "close enough" since I don't have very many non svr wx, wx pics from this year.

I think out of all of my non-severe pics, these two were my favorite. It was kinda cool as I truly felt like I was looking at myself about 30 years ago. Anybody think this young man is a budding meteorologist and/or stormchaser? This was at the excellent "Severe Weather Fair" in Lubbock back on March 4th.
