Description
Mammatus clouds in the evening sky highlighted by the setting sun. I believe Mammatus clouds are usually seen on the edge of a storm or just after a storm.

Wonderful capture of these clouds and the colorful magic of evening sun. The silhouetted tree tops offer a nice contrast. L

Absolutely stunning cloud formation, with such glorious colors Jeff! I now have a name for some clouds I shot at the Grand Canyon National Park. I love clouds in all their stages, and your photography says why. According to the AccuWeather.com: "While associated with thunderstorms, mammatus clouds are not necessarily an indicator of severe weather. Mammatus result from the sinking of moist air into dry air. They are in essence upside-down clouds." Thank you for sharing this image and title. I am always open to learning about the things I love to photograph. This would be wonderful to enter in some of the Clouds/Weather Art Groups. LvFvFB Janet💕
