Description
Well after scanning the horizon on many, many trips to the Gulf and inland bays looking for waterspouts. I finally got what I had been looking for, a WATERSPOUT!!!! It is true that I got a lot of wonderful sunsets and cloud photos along the way! But I always wanted a waterspout photo too! This photo shows the end of the event. At one point there was two waterspouts, but one of them dissipated. Yes I did get the photo of the two twisters together, but that will be in a later upload!!!! Because we get lots of thunder storms we get lots of watersports, but it can be a hit and miss trying to get one in a good photo! I hope you enjoy my photo that I am calling the "Twisting Water"!!! (Just for your information a waterspout is a small tornado that forms over the water, and is call a waterspout.)
