Clouds

I'm not really sure of the dates on some of these pictures - the camera records it, but when I get them onto my computer as simple JPEG's, the information is lost. I doubt anyone really cares, however.

	About half blue, but dark too. 1280x1024 JPEG (118K) 1024x768 JPEG (67K)		Blue, dark and also silvery. 1280x1024 JPEG (124K) 1024x768 JPEG (76K)

	Simpler rainclouds, with some skyline. 1280x1024 JPEG (110K) 1024x768 JPEG (66K)		Fluffier clouds, with some skyline. 1280x1024 JPEG (116K) 1024x768 JPEG (74K)
	To the east, fluffy clouds into the distance. 1280x1024 JPEG (119K) 1024x768 JPEG (76K)		Bigger fluffy clouds. Some skyline. 1280x1024 JPEG (117K) 1024x768 JPEG (75K)
	Solid rainclouds. 1280x1024 JPEG (96K) 1024x768 JPEG (56K)		Solid rainclouds, but silver at the bottom. 1280x1024 JPEG (103K) 1024x768 JPEG (60K)
	Double-layer rainclouds. 1280x1024 JPEG (88K) 1024x768 JPEG (50K)		Lots of silver lining. 1280x1024 JPEG (72K) 1024x768 JPEG (49K)
	Two thin, silvery layers. 1280x1024 JPEG (118K) 1024x768 JPEG (83K)		Two thin, puffier layers. 1280x1024 JPEG (111K) 1024x768 JPEG (64K)
	This is less of a raincloud image - there is lots of blue in it. 1280x1024 JPEG (118K) 1024x768 JPEG (74K)

The following are two sequences of three shots, all taken at about the same time, just looking in different directions. On June 21, 1999, a cold front went over the city, bringing some quite dramatic cloud fronts with it. Right where I live there wasn't much rain, but it looks like other areas around the city got more. This front went through *very* quickly, and the lower edge could be seen roiling around as you watched.

	Early, north-north-west view. 1280x1024 JPEG (112K) 1024x768 JPEG (66K)		Early, north view. 1280x1024 JPEG (107K) 1024x768 JPEG (62K)
	Early, east view. 1280x1024 JPEG (121K) 1024x768 JPEG (71K)
	Later, north-west view. 1280x1024 JPEG (109K) 1024x768 JPEG (64K)		Later, north view. 1280x1024 JPEG (115K) 1024x768 JPEG (72K)
	Later, east view. 1280x1024 JPEG (116K) 1024x768 JPEG (72K)

These two, from July 2 1999, were intended to show the interesting cloud edge visible to the east. They don't work all that well.

To the east. 1280x1024 JPEG (76K) 1024x768 JPEG (48K)

This set of five was taken about 10:30 p.m. on July 11, 1999. A thunderstorm had gone through earlier in the evening, and now, after sunset, the top of the cloud to the east was being lit by the sun, while the bottom was in the dark. It makes for an interesting set of pictures.

	Third - July 11, 1999 1280x1024 JPEG (95K) 1024x768 JPEG (60K)		Fourth - July 11, 1999 1280x1024 JPEG (104K) 1024x768 JPEG (65K)
	Fifth - July 11, 1999 1280x1024 JPEG (96K) 1024x768 JPEG (62K)

This sequence is from July 15, 1999. Taken late in the evening, they are a kind of mixture between normal cloud and sunset.

July 16, 1999 - Interesting puffy clouds - sorry about the balcony. 1280x1024 JPEG (80K) 1024x768 JPEG (55K)

A couple more sunset-ish cloud pictures. These are from August 8, 1999.

More north than west. 1280x1024 JPEG (102K) 1024x768 JPEG (66K)

Mostly west - towards the sunset. 1280x1024 JPEG (125K) 1024x768 JPEG (83K)

These two were taken in the late afternoon of August 17, 1999. I finally got my puffy-white-clouds pictures!

And these two were taken on June 3, 2000.
