20 Epic Cloud and Sky Textures
I'm obsessed with severe and extreme weather, if you didn't already know that about me. Every Spring, my dad, brother, and I head out on the central planes of the U.S. to chase tornadoes and severe storms. There's really nothing in the World like witnessing the formation of a large tornado right in front of your eyes, you stand in awe of natures glory yet it makes you feel terribly insignificant at the same time.
Over the years I've documented our trips with my camera and I've amassed nearly 75 gigs worth of storm and sky pictures. I've skimmed the top of that collection to bring you the following cloud textures... I thought "Why should I keep these pictures to myself, when they would make such great textures?" If you would like to see a few of our storm chasing pictures you can head over to my flickr gallery. Below is a quick sample of seven of the textures in the zip file located at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!

I made a request for some sky pictures in your suggestions box just the other day, and my prayers have been answered! thanks...
Cool textures! I to love a crazy looking sky. Thats crazy that yall go chase storms every year. Good luck and stay safe!
Absolutely phenomenal shots. Wanted a shot of the sky looking like a storm was just about to hit, and here you give more than one! Outstanding. This site rocks!
These are absolutely stunning. A true inspiration. BTW, have you tried shooting a tornado with extremely low shutter speed to capture the motion trails? Just wondering, think it could make for some fantastic untextury textures.
Thanks for all of the complements guys, I'm glad you like the textures. There are plenty more to come ;)
