Ice Cream Castles
This was the cloud to our east last Saturday night. I wish I would have had time to run out and find a foreground to go with this amazing display it put on. I'm sure others must have gotten some shots of this. It would be great if everyone put up their perspectives if you shot it.

Nice image Morris. I didn't see this storm until we were headed out to a movie. I wanted to go back home for the camera but my wife said "NO" so I settled for a phone pic. I was struck by all the colors of blue and grey underneath the sunlit portion of the clouds and the size of them all.

I saw Jack post something of the cloud formation over Denver on FB so maybe he'll chip in one of those.

Morris i saw this same set of Clouds. Did you notice the almost full Moon to go along with the clouds?

Hey Bill, how about posting those phone pics?

Bob, I saw the full moon come over the clouds just as the color had faded, and my card was full. :mad: I had forgotten to format after my last shoot.

No foreground necessary! This is incredible, MM!

Wow, what a great image Morris. I was in Limon and had a little different perspective.

Sorry for the quality but this is what I captured with my cheesy Droid phone. Amazing cloud formations.
