    I love nature. I've seen a few pretty bizarre cloud formations over mountains - but I've NEVER seen roll clouds before. Those would definitely freak me out.

    This is funny that you posted this today. I was looking at the sky when I got home and there was a cloud that looked like a big batter fried shrimp. It made me hungry and I had to eat dinner after seeing it.

      The ones I found most fascinating is the Undulatus asperatus clouds - if that didn't make early man think somebody up there is mad! :rolleyes: (it reminds me of the sequence from Fantasia - Night on Bald Mountain)

      The series of roll clouds 'Morning Glory Clouds' is pretty freaky too.

    Cool pictures - but since I saw the title, I can't get the song out of my head. So here' my revenge:

      Well, 3M; if those cool pics and a Joni reference aren't worth a thanks, I don't know what is.
