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.
Another shot from Rachel. You will notice how much the clouds are the same wherever you go--northern or southern hemispheres. Of course these are summer clouds in the dead of winter, and if you don't understand how that can be email privately.
Software: Photoshop CS5, Photomatix, Nik Viveza, Topaz Adjust, Topaz Detail, Topaz DeNoise 5, Topaz ReMask
Saw a fantastic looking cloud overlooking a Taco Bell/KFC. I love how detailed it looks...almost like a giant cauliflower.
Palouse, Idaho. Spring clouds dift over green wheat and rolling Palouse hills.
Finally in some areas it's becoming green again. Classic low cloud formation over the Palouse. I waited about 10 minutes for shadows to fill the foreground. Without them the image looked like a bright sunny day and no drama.
Enjoy,

First visit to Lung Kwu Tan - a very nice place with an broad view, which I can almost see the sun at all directions.
