High-resolution photos of giant hail

GALLERY: Giant hail from near Taylor, Nebraska

This weekend, I finished the photo shoot of the "gorilla" hailstones (the biggest 4 to 6 inches in diameter) from near Taylor, Nebraska on May 29. The photos are posted in a new section of my photo gallery. A black foam core base was used, with a hole cut for a high-intensity LED light. Several of the stones were cut in half to show the concentric growth rings.
