She is watching over the little cumulus clouds to make sure they don’t wander off and get run over by those nasty cumulo nimbuses!

These are what Beate describes as “clouds over Luedenscheid, Germany, blown into being by the west wind.”

@alex: I meant to “personalize” it a little more, (Shelley, “Ode to the West Wind” may have been on my mind),even if it is perhaps not completely geographically correct… :)

Monica says:
Cool photo – the West Wind personified! Why is this photo not labelled “clouds that look like things”
-
Beate Blecher says:
I thought this shows how clouds are made: the west wind blowing clouds into form… ;)

Anthony Skellern says:
So delicate and fragile, like clumps of spider silk drifting through the air!
Thanks, Beate.

Lol, nice cloud group, Beate. I reckon they are looking down and thinking they would rather be up there basking in the sun :D

Beate Blecher says:
I think those two are swimming on their backs, looking at the others – no?
-
Anthony Skellern says:
I think they are surfing – and the two on the right have just gone head first into the waves!

Dag, not sure what’s most impressive: the cloud formation or the friggin’ lighting below! Very nice. :)
Wow, – don’t know how I missed this one – awesome science-fiction sky!
Excellent photograph, Beate!
Thank you both – only wish I had had a tripod to steady the camera a bit more.
What a wonderful picture, Beate!
Great stuff, Beate: nicely done :-)
