Beautiful, but dangerous, clouds! Thanks for posting...those are Desktop worthy!

Here's one I took a couple of years back....from my home office's window (eat yer hearts out). Obviously the same day as the first photo above. This is Mount Rainier, south of Seattle.

Here's one I shot just a half-hour later, as the sun was starting to set. The lennies far off to the left are behind Mt. St. Helens.

Here's a collection of clouds that could ruin your day in the air, or on the ground.
