What a great phenomimon! (sp?) You know what I mean. Ha! I'm too tired to go look up the spelling. I guess I should have just said Wow!

Yes it's the real thing, slightly pp'd to bring back a little more detail in the lightest part in the center, a tad saturation in the reds, and removing a few car lights in the black mountain. (Actually i think what i managed was to bring out the vignetting a bit more :-0 )

It really was a very grey winter morning, and the MOP looked unnatural like it had been painted on the sky. I was plesently surprised with how well the 510 exposed it on 1st try. I added a link to the unPP'd version in the caption.

There you go with that abalone art filter again. Seriously, this is great catch of Nature at her most mysterious. (or a fine PP job ;-))

Great catch Goffen. I've never seen these clouds.
