The morning was cold...but so worth

getting out there.

As far as I know, the colours are caused by the diffraction of sunlight by a thin layer of cloud made up of similar-sized small water droplets or ice crystals.

A pic of the sky and the clouds like 20 minutes ago. Couldn't get a better shot because the wind was amazingly strong.

I'm pretty sure that the mountains are either the Rockies or Sierra Nevadas. The plane's window was dirty and there was lots of haze, and I'm glad to have been able to do some cleanup.

Nice morning clouds can clearly be spotted through the window of the A320 operated by Thai Air Asia as FD2772 flying from Bangkok to Phnom Penh. This was a shortly one hour flight, and we were about to be on the ground around 8 am.

The ceiling of clouds that rolled over the valley earlier in the day was still covering most of the sky at sunset.

Some nice clouds in the morning. We don't see much clouds in San Diego so its nice to see them. Russian River, California, USA

I took this photo out of the plane window on my flight from Ponta Delgado to the island of Terceira in the Azores. The winding road seen through the clouds in the photo is a series of switchbacks that leads down to the small peninsula called Ponta da Ferraria. Located near the village of Ginetas on west end of the Island of Saõ Miguel, this peninsula was built by lava flows extending out into the sea. In the cove on the south side of the peninsula is an unusual feature, Termas da Ferraria. These hot springs are located near the beach in the ocean itself. The hottest water is available at low tide but warm water is aways available even at high tide.

In June to July of 1811 a volcano formed about 2 km or 1.2 miles off the point. Its development was observed by Commander James Tillard of British Navy aboard the HMS Sabrina. The ship was patrolling near the Azores as part of the war effort against Napoleon and the French during the Peninsular War. Britain and Portugal have been allies since 1326, the longest alliance among European Nations. On July 4, 1811 Commander Tillard landed on the new Island and claimed it for Great Britain. He named the Island after his ship, Sabrina. The volcano reached over a 100 feet high. Tillard’s claim caused a diplomatic strain between the two allies. However shortly after it was claimed, erosion dismantled the Island. By Oct 11, Sabrina (the island) ceased to exist. Both the island and the territorial dispute disappeared.

Masai Mara engulfed in a thick layer of clouds as the sun sets at a distance. Rain is also bashing a zone in Mara visible as a spout on the right side. Haven't seen such thick clouds before or after that day.

Taken on the move while riding a safari van on a bumpy safari track.

Gives me more than one reason to look at the picture again and again!

At first ...

Unfortunately sunset is hidden in the clouds ...

How can I thought

See this way and

It's complex shadows of clouds is dramatic?

Characteristic cloud that hangs over Mt. Fuji much of the time. Kinda freaky (looks like a huge tornado!) but very interesting.
