Pyrocumulus at Sunset

Suzanne, if we don't get substantially more rain and snow I may be photographing those heat clouds again this coming summer!! Thanks for the nice comment :))

It took a fire to produce this cloud in the dry heat of summer... now we have clouds caused by the cool wet air of autumn! Thank you, Heloisa, for the nice comment :))

And it happened more than once this last summer! This was actually the smaller of two that I witnessed :)) Thank you for the nice comment, Elizabeth!

It's so amazing to me, dear Laurie, that these clouds are caused by the fire beneath them!! :)

I did very little with processing of this image, dear Jenny! Thank you for the generous comment :))

Thank you Silvana for the nice comment :))

My dear Anne, thank you again for your constant warm greetings!! Sending you a big :))

Jim, this fire is STILL going in the forests of far northern California, and we have to deal with the smoke when the wind is in the south. But is was sure a sight that one evening!

Darlene, as of today that fire is only putting up a little smoke that is faintly visible over the mountains to the south. No lightning in the forecast, so it is getting better :)) Thanks for the always kind comment :)))

Thank you Valerie! Because of a fair weather pattern, this was the only cloud in the sky for hundreds of miles in all directions!
