Interesting cloud over Pikes Peak
Yesterday fog and rain blanketed the Springs until late evening.

I wish I'd been over at the Garden to shoot sunrise this morning, but I'd been out with friends a bit late last night. I saw the cloud on my way to get breakfast.

Rebel XT, $10 Super Takumar 135/3.5 on a M42-EOS adapter.

I love the cap clouds we get over the peak during monsoon season.

That's pretty wild, blocks the entire view of the peak!.
