Everything is interconnected. As a Shinnecock Indian, I was raised to know this. We are a small fishing tribe situated on the southeastern tip of Long Island near the town of Southampton in New York.
Hamma narsa bir biriga bog'langan. Men Shinnekokli Hind sifatida, bu so'z bilan ulg'aydim. Bizlar baliq ovlovchi kichik qabilamiz, va New Yorkning Southampton shahri yonidagi, Long Island orolining janubiy sharqida joylashganmiz.
When I was a little girl, my grandfather took me to sit outside in the sun on a hot summer day. There were no clouds in the sky. And after a while I began to perspire. And he pointed up to the sky, and he said, "Look, do you see that? That's part of you up there. That's your water that helps to make the cloud that becomes the rain that feeds the plants that feeds the animals."
Yoshligimda, issiq bir yoz kuni bobom bilan tashqarida o'tirgandik. Osmonda hech bulut yo'q edi. Biroz so'ngra men terlay boshladim. Bobom esa osmonni ko'rsatip, dedi ki, "Qara, ko'ryapsanmi? U sening bir parchang. Sendan chiqqan bug'dan o'sha bulut paydo bo'ladi va u yomg'irga aylanib o'simliklarning va jonivorlarning chanqog'ini bosadi." Men hayotta hamma narsaning bir biriga bog'langanligini ko'rsatuvchi
In my continued exploration of subjects in nature that have the ability to illustrate the interconnection of all life, I started storm chasing in 2008 after my daughter said, "Mom, you should do that."
tabiat hodisalari ustida tadqiqot yuritishni davom ettirdim, va 2008-yili to'fonlarni taqib qilishni boshladim, o'shanda qizim menga qarap dedi, "Oyi, siz bu kasb bilan shugullaning." Shunday qilip, uch kun so'ngra men mashinamni juda tez haydagan holda
And so three days later, driving very fast, I found myself stalking a single type of giant cloud called the super cell, capable of producing grapefruit-size hail and spectacular tornadoes, although only two percent actually do. These clouds can grow so big, up to 50 miles wide and reach up to 65,000 feet into the atmosphere. They can grow so big, blocking all daylight, making it very dark and ominous standing under them.
super hujayra dep nomlangan bahaybat bir bulutni taqib qilishni boshladim. Bahaybatligidan greypfrut kabi do'l va ajoyib quyun hosil qila oladigan bulut turi, garchi faqat ikki foizi bunday qiladi. Bu tur bulutlar 50 milyagacha kengaya oladi, va 65000 futgacha (20000ga yaqin metr) atmosferaga erisha oladi. Kunduzgi yorug'likni to'sip qoyadigan darajada kattarip, hammayoqni qorong'ulikka burkab, ostidagilarni dahshatga soladi.
Storm chasing is a very tactile experience. There's a warm, moist wind blowing at your back and the smell of the earth, the wheat, the grass, the charged particles. And then there are the colors in the clouds of hail forming, the greens and the turquoise blues. I've learned to respect the lightning. My hair used to be straight.
To'fon taqib qilish sezgirlikni talap qiladi. Orqangizda iliq va nam shamol esishi, tuproq hidi, bug'doy, maysa va boshqa zaryadlangan zarralar. So'ngra ranglar paydo bo'ladi bulutlarda, do'ldan oldingi yashil va zangori-ko'kish ranglari. Men chaqmoqlarni hurmat qilishni o'rgandim. Sochim ilgari tep-tekis edi.
(Laughter)
(Qahqaha)
I'm just kidding.
Shunchaki hazillashtim.
(Laughter)
(Qahqaha)
What really excites me about these storms is their movement, the way they swirl and spin and undulate, with their lava lamp-like mammatus clouds. They become lovely monsters.
Meni to'fonlar haqida eng ko'p hayajonlandirgan narsa bu ularning harakati, to'lqinsimon, gir-gir aylanishi, burulishi, lavaning dabdurustdan otilishiga o'hshagan haybatli bulutlari. Ular sevimli maxluqqa aylanishadi.
When I'm photographing them, I cannot help but remember my grandfather's lesson. As I stand under them, I see not just a cloud, but understand that what I have the privilege to witness is the same forces, the same process in a small-scale version that helped to create our galaxy, our solar system, our sun and even this very planet.
Suratga olish vaqtida, bobomning aytgan so'zlarini eslamay qo'yolmayman. Ularning ostida turarkan, faqatgina bulutlar emas, balki ko'rayotganlarim galaktika, quyosh sistemasi, quyosh, va hatto shu sayyoramizning yaratilishining sahnalashtirilgan shakli ekanligiga va men bunga guvoh bo'lish sharafiga musharraf bo'layotganimligimni his qilaman.
All my relations. Thank you.
Tashakkur.
