Naquada

Its been one of those days again, quite busy and stressful, but working from my home office I had a wonderful view of the sky during the day. Its been bitterly cold all day, and the sky outside my office window looked quite weird, having watched it change during the day, just before sunset I decided to clock off for a bit and take some photos.

I’m not entirely sure why it looked so odd, but there were very interesting and somewhat strange shapes in the clouds. The almost setting sun also picked out the vapour trails of the planes heading over, although I didn’t manage to catch it (flat battery on the Canon!), there was a brief period where the moon was also visible in the setting sun.

I love looking up at the sky, especially late evening, or early morning. There is always a mass of interesting shapes and patterns, and the light cast by the sunset or sunrise always creates an amazing depth to the sky.

I think probably the most amazing looking cloud photos I’ve seen are the ones of Mammatus Clouds taken over Hastings, Nebraska by Jorn Olsen, they are just truly bizarre!! I also found through Jorn’s site some great photos that Kathryn Piotrowski of TwisterChasers.com has taken..
