We had a small storm this afternoon and after it had died down there was this massive cloud that appeared over the town. The late afternoon sun was reflecting off it and it sort of looked a bit like a nuclear explosion.
I have only had the opportunity to photograph Mammatus clouds in Pennsylvania on two occasions, one of them was yesterday afternoon (March 17, 2016). Unfortunately, the only camera I had available at the time was my trusty Apple iPhone 5S. I managed to capture the huge formation using the panorama mode of the camera. Tech Specs: Apple iPhone 5S, ISO 32, 1/2160 second, f/2.2, 4mm, panormama mode.
The Science: From what I have learned, the formation of these clouds is still not fully understood, there are several theories surrounding the formation. From Wikipedia - Mammatus, also known as mammatocumulus (meaning "mammary cloud"),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 (meaning "udder" or "breast").
a strange mix in the sky ~ sorry folks for beeing not so often around ~ my summer Trip with my son to Sweden starts soon💛💜 hopefully catching romantic sunsets there!!
This cloud settles in the valley overnight. Then during the morning it slowly rises.
You would think you can walk on it !!
