Into the Whale's Mouth

[William Monfredo]

Turbulent flow under a shelf cloud behind a squall line's gust front on the US Plains this year...the "whale's mouth."

No wonder they call it that...

An apparent grandmother enters the Blue Whale's mouth in Catoosa, OK, Route 66...

...once a popular destination in the eastern portion of the state for tourists using automobiles .

That's an awesome black and white shot! I've wanted to try my hand at black and white film, but I worry I'd just waste money on bad images. haha. I used to drive through Tulsa along I-44 fairly often when I lived in Oklahoma, but I had no idea this whale was close by! Looks like just the sort of quirky roadside attraction I enjoy!

Thanks for that! At some point, I'll post a few of my ideas about analogue versus digital, color vs. black & white.
