Have Never Seen Clouds Like This In My Life!

Good Lord....looks like a lot of cotton asses hanging down

Looks like somebody´s been fucking with the clouds.

The gallery shots are cool too.

Octo, where is your mind at on a friday night, hon´? LOL!

those cant be real

WoW! Thanks, Parousia!


oh

sorry about that parousia....am I that easily read?

949, hate to break it to ya´ bud, but they´re real alright.

WoW!!!

Those are extreme cases of a fair common phenomenum.

idol have you seen these clouds before? They are stunning in the photographs and I can imagine how downright bizarre they would look in person.

I´ve seen that on an isolated scale before, but holy shit. Looks like a cartoon, man thats sweet.

Just in case you´re interested...

"Mammatus Clouds
sagging pouch-like structures

Mammatus are pouch-like cloud structures and a rare example of clouds in sinking air.


Photograph by: Manikin Sometimes very ominous in appearance, mammatus clouds are harmless and do not mean that a tornado is about to form; a commonly held misconception. In fact, mammatus are usually seen after the worst of a thunderstorm has passed.


As updrafts carry precipitation enriched air to the cloud top, upward momentum is lost and the air begins to spread out horizontally, becoming a part of the anvil cloud. Because of its high concentration of precipitation particles (ice crystals and water droplets), the saturated air is heavier than the surrounding air and sinks back towards the earth.

The temperature of the subsiding air increases as it descends. However, since heat energy is required to melt and evaporate the precipitation particles contained within the sinking air, the warming produced by the sinking motion is quickly used up in the evaporation of precipitation particles. If more energy is required for evaporation than is generated by the subsidence, the sinking air will be cooler than its surroundings and will continue to sink downward.


Photograph by: NOAA The subsiding air eventually appears below the cloud base as rounded pouch-like structures called mammatus clouds.


Mammatus are long lived if the sinking air contains large drops and snow crystals since larger particles require greater amounts of energy for evaporation to occur. Over time, the cloud droplets do eventually evaporate and the mammatus dissolve.


Photograph by: NOAA Mammatus typically develop on the underside of a thunderstorm´s anvil and can be a remarkable sight, especially when sunlight is reflected off of them."

sounds like idol.

And, here´s more cool clouds you can look at taken by the same photographer. This guy should win some kind of an award or something. Amazing.

By the way, they are beautiful....I bought the "cloud stamps" from the post office when they came out a few months ago because the pics were just beautiful

What´s Wio´s take on this?

Octo, I was just teasing. ;)

"sagging pouch-like structures, sounds like idol"



Nice catch Parousia! The formations are so sharp they almost look computer generated. Excellent...

Awesome, thanks

Parousia,
excellent pictures...give more reasons to stay out of nebraska.

see clouds like that on a small scale often...never this concentrated. and yep, the air around them is even very...unreal. like the green tinted...usually means hail and future tornado here.

leaves me speachless

Glazed twists!

We had some of those last month, they´re normal but unless you´re out in a storm you will probably miss them. I heard once about an artist who only painted clouds, what a dreamy life that must be.

heeey...it´s one of the "twister sisters"! yep. the tornado ones...

sounds like the photographer is doing well for himself.

Those are somewhat common in Florida, but I must say that those pictures are the most beautiful manifestations I have ever seen......

Thank You!!.... COOL!!!

"idol have you seen these clouds before? They are stunning in the photographs and I can imagine how downright bizarre they would look in person."

Yes. Not as dramatic as those though.

I agree with them being beautiful!!!

Thanks for sharing them!

I´ve seen them in Issqaquah Washington, they were following a storm we had. awsome to see in person.
