I love clouds when they look like a can of shaving cream has been pointed toward the sky, then emptied.
Kenneth Zimmerman04-Jan-2005 12:10

I love knufkin's comments. He always seems to sum things up so thoroughly in one little word. This IS impressive. The fact that you captured all the detail in this cloud is just great.
brother_mark04-Jan-2005 04:13
Awesome capture! Stunning clouds. Great to have the camera handy when moments like this present themselves.

Now about Gary's move...so you'll help PADers move if they need an extra hand? Or do you just take pictures of their labors? :)
Guest 04-Jan-2005 04:11
Wow! I've never seen anything like that! Lucky you had your camera with you :)
