On the right you will find the Magellan Clouds. The Small Magellan Cloud on the top and the Large Magellan Cloud below.
These "clouds" are actually small irregular galaxies orbiting around the Milky Way each cloud contains millions and millions of stars.
They can be seen with the naked eye from a dark location from the South Hemisphere.
If you look carefully you will see the great globular Cluster 47 Tucanae just next to the small Magellan Cloud and you will see a bright spot on the lower right of the Big Magellan Cloud, that's the Tarantula nebula a star nursery.
The little domes of light at the horizon are produced by light pollution from distant towns.
Taken at the hills of Azul, Argentina.

To my friend, Clóvis Franco. "Hasta Diciembre, Clóvis".
I take this image up to 11.000 meters. =)
ODC-Interesting Weather
The sky was full of big fluffy clouds. We didn't get any rain unfortunately! This is a street in my neighbourhood.
Late cut of hay, Yarrow Valley, Lancashire. I say "hay". This is a dairy farming area, and given the lateness of the season, I guess this field was destined for silage or haylage. Taken on a mobile phone, not the usual Fuji X20. The best camera is the one you have with you!
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.
I do like taking pictures of great cloud 'structures'. These clouds filled up the whole sky like this, one of the reasons to leave some land in the shot was to give it a little idea of scale.
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!
I had to post one more sunset as they are so stunning that this is SOTC. Working on lots of street stuff with my P&S , stay tuned
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.
It's almost time for spring and more storm chasing opportunities. This storm was a major system and many of the "Big Chase Teams" were lined up for this one. It did not product a tornado, but had a great wall cloud. About 35 minutes after I made this image, there was 2 inches of marble sized hail produced 10 miles to the north.
I recently viewed some awsome BW storm clouds I found on Twitter, and they appeared to be done in Infrared. They turned out very ominus looking, so I wanted to try using some of the plug-ins to see if I could duplicate that. The BW version did not look that great, but NIK's IR has several versions on a dropdown, I thought this one looked really awsome.
