Extremely cool photos, # 2 was wild.
Think if a person was drunk and they looked up and seen that formation.
LOL
I wonder if they would ever drink again.

geneoft, I thought so too on some of them, but I have actually seen a couple of these with my own eyes in real life, so at least a few are genuine.

WOW! this reminds me of something i did the other day. You all should try this! Go outside on a dry partly cloudy day and look directly at the sky. Then while you lay down and watch the clouds take your hands and have them cup around your eyes so that it makes you focus more. Once you have done this you'll feel so HIGH!

Wow! Fantastic photos! Thanks for the great lesson in identifying these different types of clouds. I'd love to see the rolling cloud in real time/place.
