Hi Janet
It is always nice to hear from other members. Good luck with your contact with Sharon.
Laurence
Laurence,
Yes I just saw that. I will touch base with her. Who couldn’t look up and know they were seeing something very special. I was lucky to be in a spot free of clutter.
Hi Janet
I think you will be interested to know that another member was photographing what I think is the same cloud formation to that which you took a photo of.
Sharon Sullivan posted a photo today (c.29th July) on the Photo Gallery taken at Olympia, Washington. Here is the link to her photo for comparison:-

Cheers!

Brilliant capture, Janet. What a sight, eh?!?
Thanks for the lovely photo. The dance chorography – seemingly well rehearsed at that – is something to behold.
