Hello
I got a membership for xmas but I’ve been a cloud-head for quite some time now. Here’s a few photos I’ve taken over the past couple of years. Lots more on my Flickr site. Enjoy! -

Colin, I just had a look at the sharing options on your Flickr page. The likely solution would be to click on the ‘Share’ button for the image you want to include and then get the ‘HTML’ or the ‘BBCode’ code. When I tried to do this, however, it said “Sharing is restricted for this image”. Might you be able to change the settings for your Flickr page so that you can try pasting these sharing codes instead?

Here’s my attempt at sharing HTML image from Flickr:
</iframe>” alt=”” />And the 2nd:
<img src="<img src=”https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3349/5781918860_26f7e51035_s.jpg” width=”75″ height=”75″ alt=”Low cirrus with halo” />” alt=”” />Hmm. If at first you don’t succeed:

Ah yes, got them, and worth waiting for. -

Third attempt got closer after editing the HTML link provided by Flickr but no cigar. Also, at least I got a few edits of my reply in before that option vanished. I wonder where it went.
Another go without using [img]
Yeehaa!
Just paste in the HTML link asis, having selected the Flickr “HTML” radio button, without using the CAS [img] button. First of all, however, make sure you have selected the correct size of picture in Flickr (that’s where I went wrong earlier).

On Rarity (I don’t see how to entitle a reply to a post which is in a mixed thread/topic).
RE: Mammatus
Hallo, Colin good to see and hear from you. Goodly capture there, and I take your point that this is NE England. Mammatus are not that rare in the UK, so you are calling out the size, I guess – I don’t know if the size is unusual for UK, anyone else?
CAS has long had a saying, way back at the launch of this forum, ‘As rare as fog in Phoenix’.
It might have been ‘As rare as arcus in Lincolnshire’ but it is not so alliterative:

N.B. Ian Loxley seems to have withdrawn many of his pictures from the old forum, but found this one in the CAS Gallery. -

Colin, the Wiki entry is the only place so far I have seen an average figure for length (which I think I called size) and its 0.5 km. With an average diameter of 1 – 3 km does that make your ship quite far off?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammatus_cloud
(There are several pix at the end of the Wiki).I have not seen any given cause linked to dimensions, and UK skies above are as cold as any, I guess; intensity would be higher on the Great Plains.
Colin, can you add a synoptic situation? If nought else it is interesting to know if your mamma were at the tail end of the storm (a favourite with GP-P).

Colin, I guess that is you – College Valley Cell on Flickr – so thanks for bring it here too. I really fell for your cell – such contrasts in shapes, colour etc.
Last year we had a regular contributor Anita at the other end of Hadrians Wall from you in Westmorland. You might enjoy her time lapse video of the Helm Bar:

I agree that mammatus are not “rare” in the UK as such. But I think its fair to say that a display of the size in the photo would be seen “not often” in the UK.

Great shots Colin, this item reminded me hygge of a conversation we had on the old forum about this Arcus formation illuminated by lightning I was lucky enough to spot over The Lincolnshire Wolds.

These are absolutely great, Colin!
There are many Colins, but I wonder if you use your own name on the Cloudspotter App? Colin, followed by the country you live in :))

Hygge,
If you look at this album I made the evening of the mammatus you will see in the first picture the incoming squall that left the display in its wake. I cant remember the overall synoptic situation but I do remember one or two fairly potent little cells travelling southwards down the north east coast that afternoon.Soren, I’m not aware of this app you mention but i’ll certainly check it out.
