Mammatus
While Sky Watch travelling I came across a post about mammatus clouds at Eye to the Sky, home of Jess Cloud-stalker. I have never heard of mammatus clouds before and have certainly never seen them. After seeing Jess's shots and looking for a few more examples on the photo share site I use I will be looking out for nothing else!

That third photo is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWe had clouds like the second one one day not too long ago. It was very beautiful and just a little strange!
Hello Marg! It is awesome isn't it! We don't tend to get those kind of storms in the UK which is why I think we don't get those clouds...certainly not to that extent.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the one you mentioned yesterday.. I had made a note to look these up.. you have saved me doing so now.. These really are special.. I would get goosebumps seeing these in real life...
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to do this..
Very amazing clouds shape. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat collection!
Have a good weekend.

ReplyDeleteWow, very nice cloud shots. Those are what we call "butt" clouds. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! Kind of scary looking too.
ReplyDeleteTom, glad to help out! Aren't they amazing!
ReplyDeleteAlexander, you too....actually I hope you did as that weekend has passed but there's another one on the way!!
Ladybanana, umm I did have similar thoughts, who knows eh?
Petunia, they are not my pictures, I got them from the photo share site I use. Editing or not though they are awesome.
Halycon, butt clouds! I like it!
Quiet Paths, yep I would be taking that shot and running away at the same time!
