Many (most?) of the amateur astronomers I know have at least a slight interest in meteorology and cloudwatching. It's the astronomical version of Stockholm Syndrome. I'm enjoying using my new BlackBerry to capture some images of the great cloudscapes we see here in Florida. I took this one late this afternoon, but couldn't get it to upload from the Berry (like the Verizon guy says, "It's the network."), so here you go. They reminded me of mountains, looking out of place in this flatland. They're probably just as big! Cumulus clouds always look prettier to me contrasted with a blue sky. Thanks for looking!

Fabulous picture!! Did you see Tavianne's photos of mammatus clouds? Very cool! ;-)
I wonder what the cloud-top altitude is?
Thank you! I'm going to ask Tavi for the link to that. I think I saw it, but I want to be sure.
A brilliant photograph of cumulus congestus, and what I think could be cirrocumulus lenticularis drifting high above. Keep them coming!
