Okay. I say wow, too. But what the heck is it?

Some of the trees look like date palms- maybe SW USA or N. Africa?

One heck of a spectacular sunset lighting job on a hug thunderstorm cloud. I saw a cloud shaped just like this in Arizona this spring. Fascinating when it is just one single huge thunderstorm and not a line of them---you can appreciate how pretty the clouds are then!

Hug thunderstorms. headrub.gif I'm glad to see meteorologists are becoming more poetic and less enthralled with dull words like front, sunbreaks and showers. agree.gif

Yup, got to learn to hug the thunderstorms since they scare the hell out of me after a few experiences in them in the Inland NW the past two summers. Darn it....my first post in many weeks and I go and type too fast to make it right. But that's why they pay me the big bucks to be a photographer and meteorologist all in one!

It is a thunderhead. The photographer is Dennis Mammana. It looks like he lives down hear Anza Borrego.

Here is another Wow shot that was mentioned awhile back. Lenticular cloud over Rainier. The photographer used to work at the Paradise gift shop. I'm not sure if he is still there or not.

Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

doh.gif Didn't bother to look at the photo's url. I thought that could have been taken in the southwest. There have been some extraordinary cloud formation photos taken in the Calif. desert areas- one by the late Galen Rowell comes to mind , but Mammana's is something else.
