Verry cool , and I haven't even seen his web site yet ( damn dial up!!!!!! )

Werid memorable cloud formations ,

In boot camp at Paris Island , there werer the Coolest cloud formations , especaly at the rifle range

and in Iceland , I watched a cloud bank roll in from afar ( I thought of the Lord Of The Rings , as the Orc's were marching in and the dark clouds over head were following them ) , I called the weather station and was told "WATCH OUT!!!" ,
I got smowed in on a guard post for 29 hours befor they colud get to me ,
when they FINALY got a snow plow out to me , I could stand on TOP of a full size pickup and still not touch the top pf the plowed snow !!!!

Weird 29 hours , Marines CAN'T fall asleep on post ( NOT allowed , so it DOESN'T HAPPEN ) , I had to open the door to the 6x6 guard shack every 30 minety to keep the snow from freezing it closed , after it got dark and i was sleep deprived for to long i started Holusinating , I swear this naked chick came running down the road and started climbing MY fence , when I went out to see what was up , she was gone !!!! But the mouse I saw in the snow makeing tunnels on the snow drifts against the windows WAS real , the next morning I saw the tunnels .

REAL cool a few days later , I Ice Scated my post , just Imagen a Marine if full Artic gear with an M16 slung accriss his back speed skateing ( as best as he could ) !!!

I still love that pic, even though I've seen it so many times before. I'm in my first year at Edinburgh Uni studying Physics, but I'm doing Meteorology as an outside course and want to do it as a career.

We've had it explained to use how mamatus clouds form, but I didn't really pay much attention as it was the end of semester and questions on them were unlikely to come up in the exam, but still real pretty!

I took a picture of a really bright sunset last week, have to find it again and put it up here.

Not the one I mentioned, saw this today, took a couple of pics. Love the way the clouds are lit up in such vibrant golds and yellows. They're forming ahead of some bad weather we're expecting tomorrow, but I can put up with a bit of rain for views like this

that first pic looks cool but kinda evil. like the dark one is about to invade that store and use it as his earthly command center to take over the world. i'm sorry i haven't had my coffee yet...
