What Dreams May Come

WHAT DREAMS MAY COME By Chris Kridler Tornado at Guthrie, Texas, 2015. Color photograph printed on high-gloss metal or silver halide photographic paper.  Edition: Open    ABOUT THIS SERIES - THE SPINNING SKY As the Earth spins around the sun, the seasons change, creating a stage for storms. The spin of our planet helps those storms rotate. These conditions offer fleeting opportunities to observe the magical result: supercells and the weather phenomena that accompany them, powerful and ephemeral, in Tornado Alley every spring in the United States.  Sometimes a violent tornado occurs in a deceptively peaceful scene. A ravaging storm might end with a rainbow. Storm chaser Chris Kridler is fascinated by the structure and color of these storms and the clash of chaos and order they represent. Each moment she captures will never be experienced again, but the beauty of these storms and the freedom to follow nature’s towering, spinning castles of vapor draw her to the Plains each year to seek them out.
