Mammatus Clouds
Going back to the archives (August of 2004) for this Skywatch Friday photo, here's a shot of some very distinctive mammatus clouds from several years ago, underlit by the sun, taken with a Canon Powershot. I've got lots of interesting shots from that camera, my first digital camera, when I run out of newer photos.

Cottonballs in the sky. I don't think I have seen these before, so full and thick. Great shot.

I have only seen this type of cloud a few times and they are amazing and kind of weird! Love this photo! ;0
Love the heart formation, too!
You've got a great set of mammaries there Al. Some of them actually remind me of something more cross gender.

Gorgeous photo, Al! Just amazing these clouds formation. I don't think I have seen these before...
Those clouds give me the impression that a big storm will come...

I want to go play in these clouds.. they are so fluffy and cute... almost like sugar candy :)
Just amazing - like candy floss!
Isn't nature amazing. Just sitting there waiting for us to capture it!
Those are stunning clouds!
I've always wanted to see clouds like this in person. Thanks for the view.
Amazing. I've never seen clouds like that. Thanks for sharing the shot!
Those are amazing clouds. I've seen this type before, but never so distinct. - Margy
Amazing scene.
Regards and best wishes
I have seen these clouds only a few times in my life. I did some research--they still don't know what causes them, but they are heralds of bad weather to come, or so they think.
Your photo fills my eyes.
A very interesting picture! Nice! :)
