What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

After days of a blistering heat wave (that killed 6 people on the East Coast!), NYC got blasted by thunder, lightning and torrential rain! Crazy cloud formations and an eerie, foreboding light just before the thunderstorms hit. I wore my G-1 “just in case” and I’m glad I did! The goatskin is very water resistant; just turn up the fur collar and the rain is no problemo!

@thor love your pictures!

 

[Benny Holiday]

I dig 'em too! Now there are some ominous-looking skies.

 

[navetsea]

They are novel book cover pictures Thor.

Thanks fellas. I was inspired to share some weird cloud/sky pics after @navetsea posted his paranormal cloud photo.

I honestly can't imagine I'd rather be doing anything else in life than what you're doing. Sights like these alone make life worth living.

Thanks for the inspiring response @Monitor; it made my day! This one’s for you (sunrise the day after the big storm).

Such an atmospheric shot. I can feel the freshness and promise of a new day and the excitement of the big city (New York is a very exciting and iconic place to Aussies at least of my generation) in that photo.

It rained today. Just wanted to share progress.

black cowhide, since a new sturdy tripod just arrived to replace my wobbly selfie stick + tripod thing i finally broke last week, i thought using it fully extended on top of low table would be a good idea.... i was wrong, lol, what a horrible lighting

Absolutely right, Benny. New York is a mythical, special place to many Aussies and Thor's amazing photos always bring that magic back to me.

Sorry for double post, back to standard place

How about you read the rules and keep your defamatory opinions to yourself!

Oh dear, it happened...

Feeling Yeatsian while wearing an old 90s Schott 125. At least this jacket won't fall apart. The centre's holding up well. Fine stitching.

The Second Coming
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Definitely one of the many better things to originate in New York...
