Re: Would love to have seen these!

Beautiful example. I taught Meteorology at the University of South Florida and was a TV Meteorologist at the NBC affiliate in Tampa. Obviously clouds were a familiar topic. One of the most fascinating formations is called ACSL (Alto Cumulus Standing Lenticular). I've never seen it myself but it certainly manifests itself in a lens-like fashion.

Thanks for sharing that example!
