Title: Strange Cloud Pictures
Post by: Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith on October 01, 2006, 04:41:21 PM
I stumbled across this today:  http://pic1.funtigo.com/valuca?g=25544746&cr=1 (http://pic1.funtigo.com/valuca?g=25544746&cr=1)

It has a number of very strange cloud pictures ... and a couple of videos at the bottom.

Worth a peek, at least.

Here's a sample:  (http://pic.funtigo.com/img/i193530560_19282.jpg)

Wow, that's beautiful. Reminds me of my favorite museum, The National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C.

Here's a couple (current desktop background).  Don't have any details as to where and when this occurred....

And one fanciful bit of art that's rather appropriate.

If you go there other than today, use the back-navigate links on the page to go back to 10/1/06
