Out Looking for photo ops this evening....

I saw some really great clouds this evening as i was feed my blk. lab , Sadie.
I went in search of a photo that would give a good look at the clouds and also something about Wichita.
I have not gotten a good photo of our airport, Mid-Continent Airport, so I headed west to a road parallel to the airport, Tyler Road.
I arrive at the south end of the airport and see the sly is changing rather quickly, so I pull of the road and get a few handheld shots

and then I get my tripod from the trunk of my car and set it up, as I am doing so I notice the traffic is slowing down a bit and ofcourse people are chatting on cell phones, then i see the police helicopter circling the airport......I am starting to wonder what is up....I miss a couple of passenger jet take offs cause I am watching the chopper and then it dawns on me it's me they are watching...so I move my tripod from behind my car...give them a clear view of tag and waved at them....got a couple of really dramatic cloud shots over the airport with the tower and a couple of planes sitting off to the side......so here is one of the podded images from tonight
