The streaks at the top of the frame are raindrops falling toward me, which were lit up by nearby stage lights at the zoo. For the astronomers in the audience, this illustrates why meteor showers appear to radiate from a point in the sky: they are approaching from a far distance, the vanishing point, and depending on various motions, that point is in a different place in the sky. Drivers in snow can see the same thing.

Another Caernarfon sunset! That is one thing we do seem to get a nice lot of! I think because the almost daily rain seems to clear by sunset time (just!), and the remaining clouds give the perfect sunset effects!

Mammatus clouds are some of the most unusual and distinctive clouds formations with a series of bulges or pouches emerging from the base of a cloud. The shape of mammatus formations can vary widely; from the classic protruding shape, to a more elongated tube hanging from the cloud above.
Cumulonimbus clouds are also known as thunderstorms, these clouds are huge and often unstable. Mammatus clouds often form on the most unstable cumulonimbus, meaning that there is also a chance of hail, showers and lightning in the vicinity. Sometimes mammatus may form on other cloud types which produce no rain, though this is far less common.
Mammatus comes from the Latin mamma which translates to "udder" or "breast". Their striking appearance is most visible when the sun is low in the sky and their pouches are framed by the sunlight. This supplementary feature is a firm favourite with many meteorologists and cloud enthusiasts.
Shot earlier this evening, wave after wave of whispy cloud was passing in front of the moon, so I was unable to get a clear moon shot, but the color of the sky and the cloud was beautiful anyway.... So here is today's new moon at 58% of full.
I typically upload in small sets - don't just look at the latest one in my photostream as you might be missing something you'll like more.... and your comments are ALWAYS welcome :)
