Recently there have been quite a few beautiful sunsets, but I usually miss them or I don't have a camera with me. That's one of the few times I just had my camera with me.

Epic pre dawn sky this morning! Our first NLC's this year!
Even though we live in a LP area, we were able to photograph these magnificent rare and beautiful clouds!
Keep looking up!
Quasi con invidia leggo le opere dei miei contemporanei
su divorzi, addii, il dolore delle separazioni;
sofferenza, nuovi inizi, piccole morti;
lettere lette e bruciate, bruciare e leggere, fuoco e cultura,
ira e disperazione – magnifica materia per una poesia riuscita;
un duro giudizio, a volte una risata sarcastica di superiorità morale,
e insieme definitivo trionfo della continuità individuale.
E noi? Non ci saranno elegie, né sonetti sulla separazione,
non ci dividerà lo schermo dei versi,
non si porrà fra noi una metafora riuscita,
l’unica separazione che ora ci minaccia è il sonno,
il profondo antro del sonno la cui soglia varchiamo separati,
– e devo sempre ricordare che la tua mano,
stretta nella mia, è fatta di sogni.

Wikipedia: Mammatus (also known as mammatocumulus, meaning "bumpy clouds") is a meteorological term applied to a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. The name "mammatus" is derived from the Latin mamma (breast), due to the resemblance between the shape of these clouds and human female breasts.
We had a bad storm come through this evening, high winds & little rain. This is only the 2nd time in my life I've seen & photographed "mammatus clouds. The first time was 10+ years ago in Florida.
Original image taken into Photoshop CS, used the plug-in Virtual Photographer & the "landscape" vpf filter.
Saw a fantastic looking cloud overlooking a Taco Bell/KFC. I love how detailed it looks...almost like a giant cauliflower.
the sun just set a few moments ago, and this was one of the weirder sunsets: huge banks of lenticular clouds (we still have a strong, hot wind blowing)- moving and changing shapes.
They are stacked up parallel to the Ports range-
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go
Although this is a bit hazy from the smoke of the Table Mountain fire, this dreamy, cloudy sunset was just too beautiful not to share. The sun was setting on the Clifton side of Town and we had a magical display of colours on the clouds on the other side. Sometimes I wish I can give you all a call and say: LOOK!!! :)

Palouse, Idaho. Spring clouds dift over green wheat and rolling Palouse hills.
Finally in some areas it's becoming green again. Classic low cloud formation over the Palouse. I waited about 10 minutes for shadows to fill the foreground. Without them the image looked like a bright sunny day and no drama.
Enjoy,
Ry
