The other day, while out running errands, Linda and I had an opportunity to see a stunning exhibit; way up in the sky
Crepuscular Rays were making the whole southeastern sky look like a lace curtain. Of course we have no photo, it's hard to stop in traffic near a large regional mall at this time of year.
But, there are photos I have found that will show a few other things you may witness from time to time; and maybe some will be once in a lifetime events; for me that's with ever increasing odds.

Lenticular clouds |
Lenticular clouds look like a flying saucer, wind, temperature inversion, and a weather front may all play a part. One thing is certain they are usually seen over or near mountains.

This cloud appeared over Mexico City... |
...just before an earthquake hit the area. Although the two events may not be related; if I lived in Mexico and say a cloud like this I'd be worried. To me it look like I made a mistake while painting with watercolor with too much water on the paper and cobalt blue bled into an area where I didn't want it.

Storm clouds, Cedar Rapids, Iowa |
I don't have a name for these other than Storm Clouds. This photo was taken right before a severe thunderstorm. I'm thinking they may be more familiar to those in the west and midwest. Wilbur?

Not really a cloud at all. |
This "cloud" is a result of steam rising from cooling towers of a nuclear powered electric plant. I guess there is a time when pigs do fly! Very interesting to say the least.
