The Mother Ship Is Landing
This is just a fun one, I was driving around scouting locations while in Hood River when this lenticular formation appeared. I stopped at this ranch and fired off a few hand held shots.

5D
17-40L + polarizer
1/40, f/16, ISO 100

Was this Thursday, Zack? I shot this thing at sunset out in the Columiba Hills. There were some really interesting clouds that day. Gotta love those lenticulars! Here, it really adds some depth and grandeur to the scene.

Yep, this was Thursday afternoon. It was a fantastic day for clouds, I got a lot of very interesting images including some nice sunset shots. I'd love to see what you got out at the Columbia Hills, I looked that way and thought how cool it was looking over there.

I guess I'll post a shot at 3:27 this afternoon then. I'd love to see one of your sunset images too.

I like the country scenic down below too, although the cloud looks a bit foreboding over the top of it :eek: .
