Also I'd like to note I have seen clouds being created UNDERNEATH where we were standing on what is known as the Dryhead Overlook in the Pryor Mountains of Montana. We actually flew kites from atop the Overlook and watched them disappear in the clouds being generated off the face of this cliff.MrCachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380421021822593083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-69087069147843777782011-05-25T16:38:41.820-04:002011-05-25T16:38:41.820-04:00Tower of Jewels, they grow in lots of old gardens ...Tower of Jewels, they grow in lots of old gardens in SF bay area.

I'm reading those cloud surges as the turbulent pulse of thousands of moisture-laden parcels of warm air rising upward and slithering underneath a ceiling of cold air.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596875722436085739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-87837857501601069162011-05-25T13:50:40.476-04:002011-05-25T13:50:40.476-04:00Echium WildpretiiEchium WildpretiiChristopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539589439873411713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-48854931216397187942011-05-25T13:38:57.579-04:002011-05-25T13:38:57.579-04:00i believe they are echiumsi believe they are echiumsChristopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539589439873411713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-71804214648322378342011-05-25T12:36:50.191-04:002011-05-25T12:36:50.191-04:00Steve, yes, that struck me (and puzzled me).

I suppose there must have been a cold layer of air that the clouds floated on top of, and that the layer propagates slow waves just as a water surface might do.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-57214897596074520832011-05-25T12:33:00.194-04:002011-05-25T12:33:00.194-04:00Wonderful!
