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!

Clouds lit by the setting Sun over the Elder Range.

Amsterdam, April 2007

The first time I've ever noticed seeing mammatus clouds was a few months ago over my back yard, at sunrise. While I like shooting sunrises and sunsets, I would have actually preferred to get these without the yellowish-orange cast.

Contemplando il banco di nuvole che invade la scena, quasi non ci si accorge che al margine basso destro della foto fa la sua timida comparsa l'abitato di Castelluccio di Norcia

Clouds colored by sun just after sunset close to Keuruu in Central Finland (Canon EOS 500N, Color ISO 200 film)

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.
