El paisatge arribant a Coll de Pal, més amunt de Bagà ; els nuvols oculten tot el Berguedà per mostrar només al fons les agulles de Montserrat.
The lanscape near Coll de Pal, up on Bagà . The sea of clouds hide all the Berguedà just to show the pikes of Montserrat.

*[Each year at this time the Sahara Sands move west across the warm
Atlantic Ocean and end up high in the atmosphere over South Florida.
It tends to make our sunsets more 'intense' and 'vivid' for a few weeks,
until the stronger tropical hurricane season wind moves it out for good.]
When I took this photo, I was sure these are clouds. But now I'm not so sure...
Als ich das Foto gemacht habe, war ich sicher, dass es sich um Wolken handelt. Bin mir nicht mehr so sicher…

The Kaikoura coast has mountains, deep ocean trenches, and lots of weather. Here a spectacular lenticular cloud is forming as high altitude winds flow over the seaward Kaikoura range.

The Vasco da Gama Bridge can just be seen through the passing storm
The Vasco da Gama Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge flanked by viaducts and rangeviews that spans the Tagus River in Parque das Nações in Lisbon, capital of Portugal. It is the longest bridge in Europe (including viaducts), with a total length of 17.2 km (10.7 mi), including 0.829 km (0.5 mi) for the main bridge, 11.5 km (7.1 mi) in viaducts, and 4.8 km (3.0 mi) in dedicated access roads. Its purpose is to alleviate the congestion on Lisbon's other bridge (25 de Abril Bridge), and to join previously unconnected motorways radiating from Lisbon.
Construction began on February 1995; the bridge was opened to traffic on 29 March 1998, just in time for Expo 98, the World's Fair that celebrated the 500th anniversary of the discovery by Vasco da Gama of the sea route from Europe to India.

This is not a shot spectacular enough to even post to my own pool (Spectacular Skyscapes), but I find it quite interesting. Some thunderstorm clouds (cumulonimbus) acquire the name anvil cloud, as the tops of taller ones may be sheared off and flattened out by straight line winds at higher altitudes, giving them the appearance of a blacksmith's anvil. This anvil-like cloud (it is too low to be a true anvil cloud) formed at sunset a few days ago, but on that day dissipated and brought no rain to my drought-stricken garden.
EDIT: I changed my mind and decided to invite this into the SpecSky pool*, especially since I would be posting it next to something quite similar but a bit more spectacular.
*I can do that because I'm the administrator. :-)

I finally found some time to pick up my camera again and go storm chasing. I found this beautiful formation with a nice little rainbow.
