Mojo said...: Almost looks like something out of War of the Worlds or some such. giant looming figures over the horizon and all that.

But they're too fluffy to be malevolent Martian invaders. Then again, the winds inside those clouds could do some real damage...; 2:39 PM

David Zen-Kennedy said...: Oh my. What a beautiful sky. The northeastern US this spring and early summer has been a feast of amazing clouds (and so much rain of course) and you've captured a real stunning image. The perspective is one that I've always loved - as if you were walking up a steep hill right into the sky. Excellent!; 7:54 PM

Ascender Rises Above said...: wow it has been a long time since i visited - look at how much i have missed.
these clouds are amazing - you know we don't get clouds like this as they are usually wispy ones or fog (that comes in on cat's feet). sometimes we see these in the distance but not enough to truely see them or get any shade from them; 11:41 PM
CTG Ponies said...: Very pretty! Makes me want to take off my shoes and sit down to relax.; 4:29 PM
Roses and Lilacs said...: Beautiful blue and white contrast. Happy skywatching.
