Re: OT Clouds

Most of you know I lived in Key West for a long time, and while it has some amazing sunsets, the most beautiful one I ever experienced was from Sunset Park in Quincy, IL. It just knocked me out. We used to have beautiful ones in the Mississippi Delta, too, but I think they were the result of the sun setting through the boll weevil poisoning. <LOL>

although it is a great sunset.. sure doesn't look
natural to us northerners...:)

Chris used to have some awesome ones over the plains
and fields... maybe he will provide a link if he still
has them online.

Clouds can be really interesting. We have great
clouds here all the

Ringling] who seems to
specialize in cloudscapes. Some friends of Ms
Fatma's commissioned a
very large painting for up under the skylight in
their atrium. We went
to the unveiling. Awesome. The colors were a perfect
Gulf Coast sunset.

Here's what the real McCoy looks like
