February 19 - Clouds






Clouds - I have been looking at a weather book recently that has images of every type of cloud ... I fear it may become a new photographic obsession! Had to look through the files to find a couple of photos here as of course the weekend was clear and cloudless...
The top, almost B&W image shows an apparently rare mammatus cloud formation (named this because they look like breasts) taken in Bathurst NSW. I liked how the one from Lightning Ridge, an opal mining town, looks as though the mullock heaps on the ground are being reflected by the shapes of the clouds in the sky. Of course there is also the iconic windmill against a cloudy sky and the other two are taken from our garden across the hills that surround our farm.
