I like clouds. I've got a few pics on the official Cloud Appreciation Society site.
Pardon, me, just going to close this front door. Horizontal rain, hitting the back wall of the lounge room.

I confess, I confess... This morning was cloudy and I loved it. The only plus side to waking up at 0500 for work (no issues with STAYING up all night, but having to wake up at that time is simply filthy...) was that I got to witness the most glorious sunrise while I was heading to work. What started with a pale apricot shimmer turned into glorious orange and pink clouds, set against a grey and misty city. OF COURSE I had my trusty tripod with me, but was not clever enough to bring camera, so you'll just have to take my word for it

Cloudy days? Fine. Cloudy nights? I don't dig it!

what about some funding for the mortgage

It's a matter of attitude !!
They are not clouds, it's just a big grey nebula.
I reckon you could get more detail with an H2O filter ...

I would consider joining if I could see the clouds.

90mm in 45mins.
This was near the height of it. The trees in the background are 60 -70 M from the back deck.

Cheers

Time for a super cereal post:

I can see lightning from a thunderstorm down near Cape Otway 150km away.

I don't want to admit it, but I'm pretty adept at identifying cloud types.

Hi, my name is Robert and I have to confess I've become a new member of clouds anonymous too. Lately I've realised how beautiful the swirling bottoms of low grey rain clouds can be, and the deep green hue of the lawns and trees in Brissy is something we longed for a few short years ago.

I really was beginning to worry something had snapped up top, so this thread is suitably therapeutic thanks David.

Dave, that is a fantastic observation report of the eclipse, and I must say, very nice image of the event aswell, the focus and contrast are spot on.
