This week’s Photo Challenge is Foreshadow.
Signs from the heavens. Looks like Coney Island is doomed
as is Manhattan
but Brooklyn will be spared.
But no, or at least not this time. All this foreshadows merely a spectacular thunderstorm
that passes, with the city still there.
The story is here, and more photos are here and here.
... kayaked the waters around New York for more than 15 years in his red Feathercraft folding kayak. He was originally from (the former) Czechoslovakia and lived in the U.K. and California before settling down in New York. He was a neuroscientist at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. He died in 2016.
... is a kayaker and technology researcher at Nemertes Research. She's an erstwhile engineer, particle physicist, and science fiction writer. She was born in California and has lived in Italy, Norway, Hawaii, and a few other places. She currently resides in New York City.

Excellent foreshadowing photos. I can’t believe you were out in a kayak in that weather!

It was actually an excellent kayaking day. Not too hot, in particular… And the thunderstorm was just a lot of rain.

Wow, excellent, each and every one of them. Not sure I’d want to be out in a kayak with that kind of weather on the way though.

Wasn’t a big deal (as it turned out)—just intense rain. Seeing other boats in the rain was the main problem—and of course the storm broke just as we were passing through the busiest part of the harbor :-)
