These long, crazy-looking clouds can grow to be 600 miles long and can move at up to 35 miles per hour, causing problems for aircraft even on windless days.
Known as Morning Glory clouds, they appear every fall over Burketown, Queensland, Australia, a remote town with fewer than 200 residents. A small number of pilots and tourists travel there each year in hopes of "cloud surfing" with the mysterious phenomenon.
Similar tubular shaped clouds called roll clouds appear in various places around the globe. But nobody has yet figured out what causes the Morning Glory clouds.
This shot was captured by photographer Mick Petroff from his plane near Australia's Gulf of Carpenteria.

Ahhh nice Light and Shadow effect plus the lines. Simple some may think but the more you look the Kewler it becomes.... Well that just might be me. Hope you will look around Mr. Brooks' site ...
Thanks to my good friend Ms. Betsy for the link.....
Stunning photographs! Kinda makes a person want to get up early and get wet in the grass... There is so much beauty in the world and most of it we step over and never even notice... My thanks goes out to those who have stopped, looked and shared the beauty they have seen.
