A favorite explosion
Hello explosion seekers from Google, Yahoo and beyond,
The word "explosion" ranks among the most popular search terms for traffic to my site. I'm not really sure why so many people are interested in explosions. Since these images aren't representative of my main work, I wondered if I should take them down, but I decided instead to move them here. If you like fires, you might also like the What Lights Nate original and remix.
Look around, and then would you do me a favor and click on the Technorati faves? Make a link to my site. Or leave a comment and explain the mystery - why are so many of you looking for explosion pictures?
Thanks. AT

Some background on these photos: In 2005, Chemistry Professors Peter Armentrout and Chuck Wight took over as the annual Christmas lecturers at the University of Utah. I've known Chuck a long time, and was able to make these photographs on opening night.

Explosions are cool, of course, but what makes this photo special is the way it gives me orange hair. A little Bozo doo never hurt anyone! Thanks for the cool pix.
