aka Irridescent/Nacreous/Mother of Pearl Clouds.

Not seen that often and thought to be due to the high winds caused by Storm Gertrude. My friend Doug 1st alerted me to these the evening before when he saw them above his house but I missed them. But there they were again this morning as I was leaving for work. I only had time to shoot about a dozen hasty pictures from my drive before starting my commute. They reminded me of the meteor shower in John Wyndham's 'Day Of The Triffids'... Maybe tomorrow we'll all wake up blind... It's the end of the world!
I took this as well as a long exposure. I haven't got round to processing te LE but i loved these luminous clouds and wanted to post this too.
A POTN member (airfrogusmc) kindly did the B&W processing on this one. It's the same photo I posted a few days ago but in black and white.
This weekend I woke up to shoot some early morning sunrise shots. I've always wanted to go up to the top of Willow Hill Golf Course to get a shot of the city. The clouds obscured the view for most of the morning, but they made for interesting effects when they cleared a bit. I'll be going back to try this in different weather conditions. If you happen to be in the Glenview area when the sun is coming up, this is worth a shot.
Don't forget about our photo walk this Sunday afternoon with an added feature. I'll be giving tips and answering any of your questions during the tour. Get details at the Best of Chicago Walking Tours website.

Wir passierten diese gefährliche Cumolo-Nimbus-Wolke, die alle Technik -
auch die großer Flugzeuge - lahmlegen kann.
I love seeing patterns in clouds and this collection almost made a heart :-) I love clouds...I take so many pics of them when we go for drives, and then they sit in my computer...so I decided to share a few.
Managed to go camping on the weekend with a few friends and finally took a few shots, seems like forever since I have been out...
Luckily, the clouds had a few holes in them :-)
