Cool or what?









Plugging away at another chapter of Out Of Bounds.


ETA: Awk! Needed cut-tag. Bad.

eek. Could you put in a smaller version and/or cut this? It breaks my layout and everything.

Oh wow, that's just beautiful.

[rikibeth.livejournal.com]

Wow. Is there a name for that kind of cloud? Midcenturymodernnimbus?

[meesto.livejournal.com]

I am saving those in my cloud photos collection. Nice! Thank you.

Oh, wow. Those are amazing. Outside my office in New York today it looked like a snowglobe.

What a gorgeous view! And, those clouds look awesome. I love that you can see the different levels/layers of pressure.

HeadBoy says these are lenticular clouds. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenticular_cloud)

Extremely cool. (He's impressed he could recall the name since he's not an earth scientist.)

Oh my goodness. Those are amazing. I had to get past my initial OH GOD TORNADO GET IN THE CLOSET, and then they were really, really beautiful. (I'm from Texas, I can't help it. ;-))

Really, really neat - never seen anything like that before. Thanks for posting!

[rabidfan.livejournal.com]

So, so beautiful. Thank you.

Very, very sweet altocumulus standing lenticular clouds. I've only ever seen baby versions of these, which are a sign of SUPER SUPER bad turbulence. They're usually shaped like almonds or UFOs. I've never seen any this defined or vertically extended before- they're awesome!

[whatifisaidno.livejournal.com]

Wow!

[geek-tastic.livejournal.com]

that is really amazing! I really miss living in Seattle...

[mad_maudlin]

O.o

I have never seen clouds do that before.

(watch out for incoming Asgard)

[pkoceres.livejournal.com]

That is SO COOL. :O

[lomedet.livejournal.com]

WOW. That's absolutely amazing.

[miso-no-tsuki.livejournal.com]

Truly amazing.I've never seen anything like that in RL, but then Hampshire *is* one of the flattest counties in England. We have small little hill-lets! The first shot is incredible, they're all lined up like a fleet of UFO's. O_o

[lexstar29.livejournal.com]

That's an absolutely beautiful photo. Really stunning, thanks for posting it.

It's like... [squint] like a huge, benevolent tornado, too fat and fluffy to do any real damage and too lazy to want to, just sort of hanging out.

NO FUCKIN' WAY!

[birggitt.livejournal.com]

Amazing! And really beautiful... Those mountains...

[sobelle.livejournal.com]

Great pix!! meteorology is one of my (uneducated) serious interests.

[tintinnabular.livejournal.com]

I only just realised that you added me as a friend so I thought I should say hi. :)

Those clouds are really cool but I'm more impressed by that stunning mountain.
