Those clouds remind me of New Mexico when we first arrived over 30 years ago. The sky was so clear the clouds were spectacular. There’s a lot more air pollution now so we don’t see that nearly as much.

An amazing shot Mike. The clouds look close enough to touch. I enjoy just lying on the ground watching the clouds in the sky; so peaceful.

Jean – It seems like every time we go out west, I have opportunities for decent images of the sky, with or without clouds. I got quite a few at Mesa Verde as well as some on our way across New Mexico as we were heading home. I have yet to build galleries for those and, other than when we are traveling or from around home, the only photos of mine that I posting are random images from the galleries.
Davina – Thanks. Clouds can show so many different moods — we’re in for some dark ones tomorrow as another storm front comes through.
I can actually see them moving! Amazing.
vered – Now that’s a compliment.. Thanks!
