shot this with my little point-n-shoot a few weeks ago. i thought the shape of the cloud reminded me of a huge, cosmic anvil...

Interesting indeed squirl!Cumuliform Anvil. You caught a photo of a classic .

Could have been the possibility of severe weather in the area. There is a schematic drawing of those types offormationsdepicting the forces at work in a supercell at the Severe Storms Center in Norman,Ok.

Cool.

Is that the only one you took?

Second pic looks like a downside up wall cloud. Neat. Thanks for sharing those squirl.

Awesome cloud formations.

Always fascinating to admire the more unusual ones and wonder how they were formed and what weather is coming up.I have an interesting shot but it was takenwith my Minolta 600si SLR . How do I post it on the site???:?
