The first big thunder boomers of the year rolled thru Minne today, including a deadly tornado about 30 miles to the northeast. Ugly as is was, after they cleared out, it was a perfect evening for some sunset photography.

I set up by going all the way up to 2200 ft and leaning the engine way back for loitering. I actually spent much of the flight at 3.1GPH, this must have been during a speed run. The photo shows off the new wrinkled finish on the panel, too.....

The humidity was 99% and that made for some interesting light:
