Breathtaking AND eerie, John. What a way to wake up!

I spent five weeks in and around Sydney and a place called Musselbrook (not sure of spelling). That was 33 years ago, but I recall thinking every day that the cloud formations I saw there were often way different from the ones I see here. I'm probably all wet, but that was my observation. #10942287
