Description
Late afternoon somewhere near the Rockies in the western part of the USA.
Took this photo out the window on a flight from Harlingen, Texas to Seattle, Washington a couple of weeks ago. The five fingered cloud formation really caught my eye.
I did not have my Canon but my phone captured the moment for me.

This is SO cool! I've seen similar when flying, but this one is quite unique. And, those small cell phone cams sure come in handy and often take anmazingly good photos, as this one testifies to. My little FinePix by Fuji has done a great job, taking all the photos I've posted here at Renderosity, which is why (beside the cost) I haven't bought a larger camera. Great shot even if it was "only" the cell phone camera! Keep up the good work! :-)
WOW! That is not something you see every day. I am glad you had your phone, well cought :-)
one time chance and your phone did an outstanding job. quite beautiful
Truly astonishing!
that is spectacular
WOW, Bill that is amazing? Superb. X
Very good !!
I do like that shadow! This is a great shot, especially given the equipment you had to work with. Thanks for flying to Seattle, hon! :*
Not just the clouds but their shadows too! Great shot Bill!
EXCELLENT WORK
lovely shot
Truly a very beautiful capture
Sensational mate.
Well seen and a beautiful image Bill.
great shot from your phone. :)
The cloud is amazing enough, but the shadow is stunning; great shot indeed!
Now, that's really cool, Bill! Don't you just love the things you see from the air! It's almost like a shadow-puppet show!
I love seeing shots like this; I always have my camera close when I fly for this very reason. This is just great, you'd never think of a cloud having a shadow!!
Amazing capture my friend. My wife took some amazing cloud captures as well using her cell phone while on flight to enjoy our boat cruise that she had won through a competition. God bless.
This is a very cool capture. Well done.
Great shot from an aircraft Bill, well taken and super formation.. Excellent.... More if you like? Hope you are well mate! Rob
Phones can give some very nice shots. 10 years ago, no one would've dreamt it---they have more resolution than my old Nikon... It's a sweet shot, with that purplish haze that aerial shots have, and probably from the tint of the window as well. Nice swirling feeling. And the finger clouds remind me of the Finger Lakes. A very peaceful shot, with a nice swath of that multi-blue sky to make it all whole. Very nice work from a plane, bill. And, being a pilot, I assume one of the joys of flying is that peace you feel when seeing the earth from high up: It's all a big swirl of hues and beautiful shapes, all topped of with a blue we rarely see on ground. It must be wonderful to fly through that for long periods of time... (Btw, I'm still upset about the flange thing. Just wanted you to know that...)
