Big poufy cloud ~ what more do you need to know? ;o) ... At first - it kind of made me wonder if there weren't some governmental testing grounds *over there* or something, but ~ I haven't grown a hump on my back or anything ... yet ... but stay tuned - there's still time ...
Update:
Okay - so I consulted a weather expert friend and he was kind enough to explain this cloud formation to me ~ this big poufy cloud I thought was so cute and harmless isn't exactly so cute and harmless ...
"The name they give it is called "Cumulonimbus incus"
A cumulonimbus incus (Latin incus, "anvil") is a cumulonimbus cloud which has reached the level of stratospheric stability and has formed the characteristic flat, anvil-top shape. It can cause a supercell and then a tornado.
A cumulonimbus incus is a sub-form of cumulonimbus capillatus."
I see these quite frequently in my area of North Texas and thought they were just big poufy clouds ~ from now on, I will have to be more aware of them (and definitely have my camera at the ready!) ...
Thanks to Nebraskasc for the cloud ID!
For years we told our kids that clouds were made here ..... well it's not that far off the truth! :-)
Gaur zakarra zegoen Aralarren. Hotza eta haizetsu. Zaparradak harrapatu baino lehenago, horrelako bista ederra gozatu ahal izan det. Handik gutxira, lainoa sartu, erabat ilundu do Aralarren eta haize zakarrarekin elurre hasi do.
The rising sun spreads it's warm rays of light across the sky and on the land.
This image was taken from the summit of Sitting Bear Mountain in the Linville Gorge on a trip with my good friends Keith Clontz and Dale King.
Stinging nettles, weeds and wild trees have taken hold on the lawn at Clouds, the old home of Lady Idina Sackville, which was famous for it's wild dinner parties and nights of wife-swapping, where guests would roll a dice or blow feathers at each other in an adjacent room, to determine the evening's pairings. The house has been falling into disrepair since it was bought, in 1969, by a civil servant who worked for Kenya's Land Adjudication & Settlement Department for 75,000 Kenyan Shillings (£560). The family of born-again Christians say they can't afford to maintain the buildings. They said they rarely have parties because they don't drink alcohol and they don't have many friends. They keep sheep in the old kitchen, the dining room is now a maize store and they keep potatoes in the old gatehouses. They felled an avenue of more than 20 gum trees in 2003, after one of them collapsed onto the house. They said they would like to restore it to its former glories but can't afford to.
