In the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson, Arizona, is Finger Rock, seen here just below the center of the photo. My wife and I hikes up 1,500 feet (nearly 500 meters), but didn't make it to the ridge. Along the way the clouds put on a show for us.
As I was returning home from my photo walk through the Western Pennsylvania countryside near my parents home these great clouds began to roll in. I had hoped for some clouds like these when I was on my way out to take pictures, and indeed they did arrive but just a little late, LOL. So here is one at least set against a low hill in a farm field.
The thunderclouds were gathering two weeks ago as we lifted off the runway in San Juan Puerto Rico and headed for our connection in Houston, TX, and thence home to Seattle. Rain had showered down as we waited to board and our departure delayed as the next storm cell passed overhead. However, once seated, and the sun suddenly bursting through, our pilot made for the runway and without hesitation accelerated into the sky.
The ride upwards was jarring, then suddenly calm as we rose above the fray. Below us, in between cloud breaks, was the clear, glistening Caribbean.
We passed over our hotel, the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, and other locations we had visited.
A few minutes later as the flight crew wove its way between the towering heavenly creations; I began snapping away capturing images of the, interesting, towering, and fanciful formations. As well as the many Caribbean countries we flew over, Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic and Cuba.
The four-hour flight concluded as we descended over Galveston Bay, TX and shortly, a smooth landing in Houston.

A view from my workplace parking lot (the NE corner of Woodmen Rd and Academy Blvd) yesterday morning, looking west towards the "scar" (i.e., the Pikeview Quarry) with snow dusting the Waldo Canyon Fire burn area.
Project 365! - Day 235
From 2 February 2016: I caught a beautiful display of nacreous clouds as dawn broke over Stokesley, North Yorkshire on 2 February 2016. I expected the display to last only a few minutes but the clouds were visible for several hours. The colours were amazing and got better and better during the morning. I used a Canon 600D handheld to get this shot.
John Hancock Tower in Boston. Love the clouds reflected on the glass and the way the patter repeats off to the left.
New Mexico is in the national news again, but this time it is because a couple of people have died in the southern NM desert. The beauty of the landscapes here attract all sorts, and sadly, this is not the first time that this has happened here.
People that are not used to the altitude and heat do not understand just how deadly this environment can be, while those (like myself) that have grown up here have life-saving habits as a matter of course.
I know many of my photographer and artist friends love to get out into New Mexico’s wide open spaces, but I’d like to remind you all, it is easy around here to find yourself in a situation where there is not a soul for many miles, and if you didn’t bring it, it is not there.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, stay safe.
Almost like a Martian sunset, but in Seven Sisters Falls, Manitoba.
Has to be viewed in the lightbox.
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen.
And I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.
Ooo-ohh, just saying it could even make it happen.
I'm Cloudbusting Daddy.
taken just north of Faringdon (Oxon) last sunday. we had been hoping to get a good sunset behind Faringdon Folly, but decided that nothing was going to happen as we were too low down, then saw this on the drive home
Chased this thunderhead around this evening. It dissipated when the light got better......sad face.
I will try this spot again when the clouds cooperate.
A beautiful sunset with complex cloud clusters on the Bay Area. Taken last June from the Cesar Chavez Park in Berkeley, California.
