Extraordinary clouds : skies of the unexpected from the beautiful to the bizarre
Hamblyn, Richard, 1965-2009
Book
You'll find a selection of some of the most startling and unusual cloud formations, from uniform streaks of `cloud streets' to the odd bulbous `lenticularis' that are commonly mistaken for UFOs. Each amazing photograph will be accompanied by Hamblyn's entertaining and informative explanation of how the cloud was formed and the conditions in which a similar one might occur. The images chosen use satellite photography as well as ground-based pictures and the collection demonstrates the most unexpected and seemingly impossible patterns that can be created by the natural cycles of weather.
