.....and looking right.....
Don't forget****** "Silly Tuesday" ******where you can post anything that is silly, funny, daft or just makes you laugh!!!
For those of you that don't know the origin of Silly Tuesday here is a bit if a run down....It started on this day. My thoughts were as follows......
Monday is the start of the week...
Wednesday is the middle of the week.....
Thursday is nearly Friday and Friday is the start of the weekend:-)
I know some people work weekends as I am one of them:-)
But its still the weekend BUT......
What is Tuesday???? Its just a Silly Day that means nothing....so thats where ST came from:-)
Join in the Silliness:-)
Love Silly Mama:-)
If you post on ST then leave a link on my page then others get to see your silliness:-)

EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United Kingdom
Reminds me of the beautiful shapes and forms in the lava lamps that were the new thing back in 1973. We sat for hours as the oils heated and the colours felt so similar tomthese fluffy cotton wool clouds.
A gorgeous cloudscape

@EYES WIDE SHUT: Ahh yes the lava lamps...you are right in your comparison! It was one of the strangest cloud formations I have ever seen, but usual apparently after the Nor'wester

We took some from the backyard of this sunset but yours has the perfect setting! The lenticular clouds were so perfect that night.

grouser from Ludlow, United Kingdom
Stunning.
At a guess there was a wind coming from the Antarctic over hills/mountains at the time creating those lenticular clouds.

@grouser: Perfect guess!

Very cool image, Liners!! And I learned something new. Never knew about lenticular clouds until now. They do look like UFOs. Lovely colors in the sky!

A fascinating natural spectacle! Are these clouds a common phenomenon, or is this something special?
10 Jan 2009 5:39pm
@MadScientist: Thanks ms. I think the lenticular clouds are something a bit special, not often seen to this degree I don't think.
Alivia from France
Clouds colored by the light of sunset, a mixture of pastel colors, painting a picture to seduce us, superb picture charms.

Looks like the aliens are floating in. I'm glad they wear bright colours. There's a lot of sky round your way. Amazing oranges.

@Bro: Funny you should say that Bro...one of the first things I said about NZ when I arrived is that it has a huge sky!!! Ta for your comment!
Tony Duque from Raleigh, United States
Whew!! I've never seen anything like that... at least not in the sky! Makes you happy to have had the old H7 at hand, I'm sure. We're all glad you did, too! Can't wait to see what it looked like to the left. Thanks for sharing!

Great sky. BTW, I find that when I can manage to post a week or two in advance I can avoid some of the daily problems that always seem to strike at the moment when I have found time to post.
