Clouds 12-20-13

On Wednesday it was cooler and we had these fantastic clouds.  Clouds are not as much a part of our "skyscape" as they are in other parts of the country.   And these are most unusual clouds.  The sun was just starting to dip behind the horizon creating the pink cast.  

 

Somehow they look different when the trees are eliminated.

These were not rain clouds.  Those came yesterday with rain, thunder, lightning and, in some areas of the LA Basin, hail.  Anaheim, which is about a mile down the street, had the highest rainfall, about 3/4 an inch.  So, everything is washed off and crisp and green and shiny.

Temps will be in the low to mid 70s for Christmas Day.

Beautiful, Del. Yes, the clouds do look much more impressive without the landscape. Awesome!
