I should have voted for this picture.

Thank you, but, alas, the photographer is my daughter, and I did not think it appropriate to enter her picture in the contest. Three earlier Youngs whose pictures we posted at different times are my son and grandchildren, and we likewise thought that they should be ineligible.

It’s a really cool picture and a really fortuitous alignment with the sun. (BTW: the microburst link doesn’t seem to be working.)

It was not; it is now; I do not know why it was not working before, because all I did was paste in the same URL. Sigh.

Dang, if that doesn't look like the Finger of God coming down.

Or some other appendage.

This is a case of being in the right place at the right time to take the photo and not for being underneath it.
