Mammatus Clouds

Mammatus CloudsThis photo of Mammatus Clouds was taken by Jorn Olsen, over Hastings, Nebraska. Weirdly, wondrous looking clouds.
From Wikipedia: Mammatus (also known as mamma or mammatocumulus, meaning "breast-cloud") is a meteorological term applied to a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. The name "mammatus" is derived from mammary, due to some persons believing that the clouds bear a significant resemblance to human female breasts.
