Cloud formations

As regular readers of my journal know I am fascinated by unusual cloud formations. The vast majority of my 5,000+ pictures are of clouds. My current location offers a great view of the open sky, and I can't get enough of it.

On Wednesday, this sequence of so-called mammatus clouds passed over. It looked very threatening. Mammatus refers to the fact that they look like a woman's breasts. I learned later that day that a tornado had ripped through a village in West Wales, indicative of the very unstable weather we're having this week.
