More Steam Devils On The Sangamon River

Wednesday morning I stopped by the river to film and photograph morning steam devils at a favored location with the just right balance of light and shade to create the thermal contrast necessary for ideal development. Unsure of what to expect, a particularly large and slow moving spout formed for which I was fortunately able to capture in both mediums. Be sure to check out the end video.

Waiting for initiation, crepuscular rays caught my attention in the adjacent woods.


Initial puffs were mediocre though ascending rapidly which is a good sign.




Then it happened!




And just like that, it was gone.


Violent macro atmospheric correction.

paul, I think no one lives as rich a life as you do
That was thrilling to watch
like spirits rising and dancing
