Mammatus clouds over Manhattan Photo

Photographer’s Note

By Wikipedia:

"Mammatus (also known as mammatocumulus, meaning "bumpy clouds") is a meteorological term applied to a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. The name "mammatus" is derived from the Latin mamma (udder), due to the clouds' characteristic shape."

Hi Nikos,

Nice catch. Very effective perspective and coloring. Good note, but I would like to know what kind of weather produces those clouds or what incoming weather they signify. Guess I have to look it up myself.
