Smoking tree

While driving home yesterday, I saw this unusual cloud formation.
I was so fascinated by the view that I drove past our home without realizing it. I reversed our car, ran into our house, grabbed my camera and took this shot.
My experience with cloudscape is that the formation does not last more than a few minutes and time is of the essence.

Excellent shot... Did you use the excuse that by buying the RX1 it would be compact enough for you to take everywhere with you... Voted :-)
