From the rooftop of the hotel I stayed in Darjeeling. I witnessed clouds ascending and descending from different abodes completely engulfing the valley below and the sun above. The dusk rays fought hard to penetrate one loaf and illuminate the other. I, for once, was happy being the salami :)

Had a very pleasant walk on Sunday from Windermere to Staveley passing over Sour Howes & Sallows. Once above the low-lying mist we enjoyed bright sunshine. This shot was taking looking back towards Windermere. Not sure which works best B/W or colour What do you think?
While out on a drive around the neighborhood I noticed these amazing clouds. Thanks to macgrrl84, we've learned these are an example of mammatus, or mammatocumulus clouds.
You can't walk on those streets in the sky.... cumulus clouds over the lower Ebro valley. Seen from the our house in the country.
Cloud Gate is a public sculpture by Indian-born British artist Sir Anish Kapoor, that is the centerpiece of AT&T Plaza at Millennium Park in the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois. The sculpture and AT&T Plaza are located on top of Park Grill, between the Chase Promenade and McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink. Constructed between 2004 and 2006, the sculpture is nicknamed The Bean because of its shape. Made up of 168 stainless steel plates welded together, its highly polished exterior has no visible seams. It measures 33 by 66 by 42 feet (10 by 20 by 13 m), and weighs 110 short tons (100 t; 98 long tons).
Kapoor's design was inspired by liquid mercury and the sculpture's surface reflects and distorts the city's skyline. Visitors are able to walk around and under Cloud Gate's 12-foot (3.7 m) high arch. On the underside is the "omphalos" (Greek for "navel"), a concave chamber that warps and multiplies reflections. The sculpture builds upon many of Kapoor's artistic themes, and it is popular with tourists as a photo-taking opportunity for its unique reflective properties.
After an afternoon of severe weather and torrential rain, I was able to capture these clouds near sunset.
The afternoon sun hides behind clouds. Photo taken in spring 2014.
Admittedly, this image has undergone some "reality enhancement" in Lightroom and Photoshop, but I think that this version better describes my memory of that moment than the original photo.
The high dynamic range of the Nikon D800 made it possible to enhance the shady regions, which otherwise would have been only a silhouette. The difference between the sky and the building is about 5 f-stops, which traditionally would have required HDR and tonal mapping.
The sun rays, which I remember vividly, were barely visible in the original photo, so I enhanced them in Photoshop using a radial blur on a separate layer.
The afternoon heat on a hot and humid August day, set off some great cloud towers. This one grew high into the blueness of the sky, then, just as quickly as it grew tall, it collapsed and within a few minutes was nothing more than a memory.....
