A notable storm system in an area that Santiago described as formerly being desolate without any vegetation. Over the past few decades, Chinese forest rangers planted trees and gradually nurtured the environment back to life. Today, there are endless stretches of lush forest farms, as seen here near the Saibangba Forest Farm, Weichang County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, China.

Incredibly beautiful! I “need” a print of this beauty! Where can I get one? Have googled everything I can think of, but no success… Thanks in advance for your help!
Drop-dead gorgeous! Are you selling prints???
Unreal! Unbelievable beauty!
Shame this attracts an ugly spammer :-(
amazing colours!! cant wait to see this formation myself one day.
reminds me of a Thomas Hart Benton painting, thank you
magnificent photo! thank you
thank you Remi, yes of course, I think is a stratocumulus me to
Please stop spamming…
Beautiful shot Ken !
But aren't they stratocumulus ? They seem to be very low.
I first saw this photo in the November 23,09 Time magazine, p. 92. I would like to know how to obtain a copy or print of this photo.
Many says it look like paintings, and I agree.
That suggests it has been seen by artists before photographers.
Wow! I don`t know about a tapestry, it would have to be a new Tartan! Superb colours and duvet like texture, well caught!
Carolyn Deane-Martin
Remarkable ! It must feel good to know that you bring great joy to so many people THANKS !!!
Hanne Ingerslev
Congratulations Ken. Did you take several views? Any stereo? Jet's a moo cow! Was it cold near the ground and warm and moist aloft? Were clouds aligned with winds in any way? Charles Warner
Fantastic photograph. Looks like a sci-fi scene. Where are the aliens???
Hard to fathom, almost…really spectacular.
Thanks for capturing such a sublime moment.
I think it's more Van Gogh than Munch,but no doubt they were both inspired by such magnificence!!! Mind blowingly beautiful
Wow! love the colors and the way the clouds undulate across the sky. Well done
Amazing colours and textures. I love this picture!
Excellent photo Ken the only thing missing is Edvard Munch's "the Scream" lol thank you.
Incredible and wonderful, thanks for this photo, I love it.
speechless!
Incredible! Looks like mercury or lava. What it was like to see the real thing I can't imagine, but thank you for sharing it with us.
what a dreamy duvet of a sky – thank you
Wow.
Amazing, like a real painting. It's really worth to live for that kind of moments. Thx Ken.
makes me so homesick that I want to cry – damn California and its eternal sunshine!!
This is most definitely the kind of thing that makes us love looking at the clouds so much, what an amazing photo,wow, Ken. Fantastic.
Unbelieveable. That's the sort of sky created by alien invaders as they are just begining to zap the planet earth. Well done Ken.
Wonderful capture Ken. It has a texture you can almost feel, a real-life tapestry.
Beautiful!! I agree, It seems to be painted…
this photo is really, incredibly fantastic.
it seems a picture of van gogh
Looks like cloud weaving. Wonderful picture.
That's a great pic Ken…!
It's very beautiful in a peculiar way, like a romaintic landscape painting. Love it, thanks Ken.
