SkyWatch Friday ~ Volcanic Clouds

Illusion Clouds near Santa Maria, California
the cloud resting on the mountain reminds me of smoke coming off of a volcano.
Though I've never seen a volcano in real life; I can only imagine.

Happy SkyWatch =)

    Either the scene is very high or that cloud is very low!

    Very nice shot! I have seen a volcano and I agree with you. This looks like the rock in Morro Bay. I used to love to drive by it.

    Wonderful cloud illusion and a very impressive mountain! I love the light shining on the houses nestled there, too.

    It is a very unusual looking mountain. Where on earth is it? It is an interesting climb? Good capture of cloud passing by. Thanks for visiting.

    This is an interesting shot! And very cool to see the clouds coming out! I've seen a real volcano....but a perfectly cone shaped.
