A deeply dangerous — and blatantly retaliatory action against Colorado — by the Trump administration. NCAR is one of the most renowned scientific facilities in the WORLD — where scientists perform cutting-edge research everyday. We will fight this reckless directive with every legal tool we have.

Let's get one thing straight: climate scientists are not the pushovers that the alcoholics, failed influencers, and white supremacists in the administration hope they are. They've been fighting trash from the Republican-Oil Industrial Complex for more than thirty years. ...

It's been an amazing and fun year for the YouTube channel. Four big photography-related projects, my first really popular video that got me recognition on local news and from employers, tons of music, and plenty more in between. And look out bc I've got something else coming early next year 👀

In case you missed it, my new landscape photography video from West Virginia last fall is up! If you like what I create then feel free to like or share it because it helps me get more eyes on it! #photography #art #nature #landscapephotography #conservation #naturephotography #outdoors

Big new video up now: PHOTOGRAPHING DOLLY SODS & BLACKWATER FALLS, WEST VIRGINIA I want to keep doing these informative landscape photography videos in the future and I've got a few I could do already. This one is full of some of my favorite work www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdQQ...

This might be too personal but one thing I learned after both my grandparents experienced Alzheimer's disease is that when somebody in the advanced stages starts talking about strange things that aren't true, you just play along with it and agree with them to avoid causing confusion and paranoia

This year has been tough for me but my YouTube projects (and the book for that matter) have been getting me through it. I want to say thank you to everyone who watches and stay tuned because there's more stuff on the way that I'm excited about

Y'all the latest episode of the #Kilauea #eruption just went CRAZY. It looks like pressure built up enough to explode out the ground around the two existing vents (first few seconds), leading to a massive surge in lava fountaining.🌋🤯 USGS Live stream: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiyt...

If you're looking for a holiday gift for the storm chaser in your life, might I suggest TORNADO COUNTRY: The History of Oklahoma's Violent Weather, an extensively researched chronology of how science took on nature's fury. Available in paperback from Blurb (link in comments) #indieauthor #science

Does anyone remember back in March when Trump tried to throw out USIP by EO but didn't have the authority so he had DOGE buy out the security contractor and send guys into the building to go straight to the armory inside and initiate a lockdown www.asisonline.org/security-man...

At the end of this year I'll have been shooting storms and landscapes for ten years. Throughout December I'll be counting down my 100 favorite photos I've ever taken - supercell storms, lightning, aurora, solar eclipse, national parks, mountains, fall colors, wildlife, and more #photography #art

Something occurred to me this week that I've been photographing storms and nature for ten years. I'm amazed to look back and see everything I've experienced with my camera in that time. I feel like I should do some special YouTube project to recap my coolest stuff #photography #art #nature #outdoors

A couple newer edits from my trip to West Virginia last fall, from Seneca Rocks and the summit of Bear Rocks / Dolly Sods. I've got a video on that in the works #photography #art #nature #outdoors #appalachia #naturephotography #landscapephotography #publiclands #westvirginia

I had a dastardly idea while working on my next photographic weather history video. For UNPREDICTABLE I was able to put together some animated graphics and photoshopped storm images, but for this one there's a couple scenes I envision that I just can't get that way But I can sketch them 😏

Prime Video replaced their digital copy of Twister with the new 4K restoration version from last year and I think it kinda looks like garbage

Boys and girls, when I tell you that we are gonna be clocking in to the YouTube FACTORY the next few months you best believe it. You are not even ready for these projects I've got coming down the pipe, I am talking about harnessing every creative fiber in my body. Photos related

It's national take a hike day! Other terms for going outside that are also dismissive insults are "get lost" and "go touch grass" #outdoors #nature #nationalparks #photography #art #naturephotography #publiclands #landscape

The channel is for aurora now

Wednesday night's aurora from northeast Ohio once the clouds finally broke, a consolation prize for missing the big one the night before. At 18mm those were some serious pillars during substorms #aurora #northernlights #spaceweather #photography #art #nature #naturephotography #stormchasing

I'm seeing lightning signatures pop up on Nexlab GOES kinda evenly distributed around the northeast and mid-Atlantic in areas with clear weather, I wonder if that's an effect of the geomagnetic storm

Man, this part-time job I landed turned out to be really really part-time. On a related note, all these photos and more are available as prints in the 2025 Collection on my Pixels/FAA page here: 3-connor-sipe.pixels.com/collections/... #photography #nature #stormchasing #outdoors #fallfoliage

Some fall colors managing to pop at Goddard State Park in western PA back on October 26 into the evening #fallcolors #fallfoliage #nature #naturephotography #landscape #photography

All those big tough defenders of America with their tear gas and tactical gear had to make sure the guy standing around doing nothing was subdued before they could move in

I'm considering some dramatic reading YouTube videos with excerpts from my self-published book, TORNADO COUNTRY: The History of Oklahoma's Violent Weather. I picture some original music and sound effects but I have no idea if it would attract any viewership.

For Halloween I want to shout out one of my big early influences toward nature photography from when I was a kid, the game Slender: The Arrival. It's a horror game from years ago but I still think about the mountain and forest scenery when I shoot and edit landscapes

My spookiest photos, I'm on Halloween until December 5 at least #halloween #fall #fallvibes #art #photography #nature #landscapephotography #spooky

I've started writing the follow-up video to UNPREDICTABLE: The Pennsylvania Tornadoes of 1985, on a related local weather history subject. I want to give it as much effort as the first one, including expanding on the original musical score, digital recreations, and the works

Spooky, foggy PA forests for Halloween #art #photography #nature #naturephotography #outdoors #fallvibes #fallmoods #spooky

Some more from a rainy day in Cook Forest, PA #photography #fallfoliage #fallcolors #fallvibes

I’ve got another weather history video I want to make in the near future. Here are some indecipherable hints about what the topic would be

Caught some moody, rainy fall scenes I was hoping for around Cook Forest State Park along the Clarion River in northwest PA yesterday. The foliage was really chaotic and strange with some trees still green and many others already bare but I think it still looked great #photography #fallfoliage #art

SCOOP from me: I uncovered that the Interior Department just quietly defunded *two* multimillion dollar research programs studying how whales move and behave near U.S. wind farms actively being built. Trump blames wind turbines for whale deaths, then cuts vital research on the topic. 🧵

Personally I have yet to see any truly compelling evidence for Zeldin's existence and it seems completely obvious that all claims in support are grossly exaggerated for political gain #LeeZeldinIsAHoax

Stupid is as stupid does: AI2ES, an NSF research institute to explore the use of artificial intelligence in the earth sciences, was terminated by OMB because it “wasted taxpayer funds to place climate change hysteria in AI models.” Alan's take: "it strikes me as completely insane."

Brand new on my Darkroom prints page: overhead wide angle of some bright yellow foliage from Ohiopyle State Park in Pennsylvania last week. Check out my absolute best work in poster format like you see here: connorsipephoto.darkroom.com #photography #fallfoliage #nature #naturephotography #art

My day trip to Ohiopyle State Park in southwest PA this week might be my best photography day all year. Though the foliage was thinned out, there were still some spectacular yellow colors, especially hiking up and down the creek hollows. #photography #foliage #fallcolors #nature ...

The first few edits from my day trip to Ohiopyle State Park in southwest Pennsylvania this week. Despite the drought-stricken foliage, the colors still turned out fantastic in some areas. I shot tons and tons of stuff and there's a lot more to get through #foliage #photography #nature #landscape

Beautiful day for a public demonstration

When those fall thunderstorms roll in and the vibes are just right

It’s national fossil day! This is my collection of fossils I’ve found around Pennsylvania over the last three years

Some Comet Tsuchinshan/ATLAS action from a year ago tonight

Favorite photos of the year so far. Let's see what I can get this month in the fall colors department

I'd love to put out some video projects related to my book, Tornado Country. I'm just not really sure how - I think the best option would be short readings from throughout with some music and sound, but I don't know how much viewership that would attract for the effort it would take.

October 10 last year from Lake Erie, Pennsylvania - the G4 aurora, one of the most amazing things I've ever seen to top off a year of some of the most amazing things I've ever seen #photography #aurora #nature #northernlights #auroraborealis #spaceweather #naturephotography

Brand new on my Darkroom prints page: a spectacularly moody sunrise beneath a blanket of fog in western Pennsylvania a couple weeks ago, in white-bordered poster format. Available with the rest of my best work here: connorsipephoto.darkroom.com #photography #landscape #moody #art #naturephotography

One year ago tonight was the strawberry aurora, seen here from western PA with two meteors. 2024 was wild

A year ago today: catching a supercell and the aurora from northeast Ohio without moving an inch
