Oooh…
Looks unreal. Like a spacefrog sticking it's head though the atmosphere. I love sci-fi.(^-^).
Wow !!! How come I never get to see these clouds !!
That plane is doing what I've always wanted to do – fly past one of those monsters! What a stunning shot!
Kind regards from Wales.
WOW…
Almost unbeleivable ! Like part of a fairy tale. Gives me real joy.
Marvellous. I wished I could encounter such a beauty myself…
