Mammatus (Mamma), often associated with thunderstorms, are indicative of sinking cold air that's carried into warmer air layers and create the characteristic bumpy, rounded appearance, as seen here over Hovell's Creek, Geelong, Victoria, Australia.

Ah! To countenance that other world!
I love this photo much indeed. It is, to me, like being allowed to enter the sanctity kingdom of the cloud gods. To see the majesterial high pavilions of the clouds set against the vast blue vaults of emptiness and space, well……
Thanks, Maxine!
