In my case it’s clear blue skies and anything like stillness or being relaxed.

Edit: for some context the footage of 9/11, the people falling off the plane in Afghanistan, the explosion in Beirut, and many others had that same ominous clear blue sky in the background.

    Maybe not doom, but general anxiety - I’m in Texas which has fairly frequent tornados in the spring. There’s a green tint, a smell, and a feeling in the air that puts everyone on edge.

      Last time there was a tornader in Garland, lightning flashed and lit up the jade-green sky. My mother and brother stopped talking instantly, and we gathered the dogs in the Harry Potter room under the stairs.

      'Nader didn’t hit us, but it was still a shock to see the sky a color I’ve only seen in jewelry, or the random Pantone®© sample.

    Total eclipse of the sun

    I’ve seen a number of partials and lunar eclipses through my life but I drove out to see totality last year.

    It was the textbook definition of awesome, it took my breath away in a way I still struggle to describe beyond the words doom and divinity. Took me months to shake it.

    15/10 will absolutely travel for the next one if I’m not dead by then.
