Goodness! That's quite something.

Fascinating, I almost prefer this name for it "Fallstreak hole" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallstreak_hole

I love clouds. They make me happy.

Grannyknot, you should join the Cloud Appreciation Society ... we have!

You can follow the Cloud Appreciation Soc on Twitter. Probably Facebook too.

That's quite a picture, knotty smile

Grannyknot There is a lovely book written by the founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society, can't find my copy at the moment to give you better details. But if you do appreciate clouds like I do, you'll love it.

Fab photograph. It's understandable that in less enlightened times this kind of natural phenomena could have been thought to be supernatural or alien.
