Wow Phil, that's spectacular!

The first cloud looks like a Stealth Bomber has crashed through it.
The others are just pretty tangerine clouds.

fine clouds you show here,
and jjnetties “stealth bomber” remembered me,
that I also have seen lately a proper cloud formation
meteorologists named it a “lenticular cloud”, I think.

btw jnettie,
I wonder what a fan you are
who or what is RAH ?
I found by wiki:

RAH being the initials for Richard Anthony Hewson. In 1977 Hewson wrote an instrumental called "The Crunch", which was a huge success and climbed to number 6 in the UK Singles Chart

is it right?

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #27 26-01-2007, 05:50 PM

RAH as in Robert Anson Heinlein.
The BEST Science Fiction writer ever, except maybe Douglas Adams.

Your cloud looks a little like the Star Ship Enterprise!!

and what a association do you connect with these clouds?

bush fires ?

I'd passed over this thread a few times thinking it was just a place to winge about clouds obscuring the wonders of the heavens, little realising there were some great pictures here!

Maybe it should be re-named 'Cloud photography'?

Anyway, here's three of an ominous-looking storm front that passed over Bondi on 2 Dec 2005 ... amazingly without much rain or wind if I recall correctly.

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #39 27-01-2007, 10:50 PM

That is one serious looking storm front Mike. Someone must have copped it pretty bad.

It is a good thread though isn't it.

Yes, it's great, but is it going to be renamed?
