6th February 2006 turbulence

Odd kind of sky today,
dark mammatus clouds during the day,
which gradually cleared and let the sun through,
illuminating these lenticular clouds.

Nikon D50
1/60s f/5.6 at 18.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I remember this sunset, we were just going past your tower on the way home getting ready to walk the pooch. Love the propeller planes in the foreground gives nice balance to the sky, which looks as though a huge alien craft's about to appear through it any second! V

Nice dash of skyfire:) Barely a hint of the sunny stuff here lately.

a good day to keep your feet firmly on the ground.

Lenticular? I've learned a new word. Very pretty views.

Great main image - love the colours.
Those clouds look really low in the sky.

Don't like those mamatus ones. Pretty colors in these lenticulars (whoever thought of these names---some weatherman, I presume.)
