Hi Adolfo
Following up on your earlier comment I thought you might be interested in the two links I have provided here.
Both come from the NASA APOD page:-
The first link gives an explanation about how the Mammatus clouds are formed;
the second is a spectacular image of Mammatus:-

I fully agree with Adolfo’s comment. The Mammatus clouds are certainly eye catching.
Laurence
Good shot. Mammatus are always welcome to the gallery.
