Mystery cloud photos…
This is not so much a normal Bush Babe contest (and no, before you even ask, there is no such thing as a normal Bush Babe!)… as it is an appeal for information.
…
You see, as I was leaving Granite Glen one morning this week, I noticed this strange phenomenon out of the corner of my eye…
For all the world it looks like fire smoke rising INTO a cloud, which appeared to be almost ready to rain!
What the??
And even as I shook my head at what was surely an optical illusion, I kept checking it out as we drove. And regardless of the angle, it STILL looked like smoke being drawn towards the cloud.
I know for sure that there was definitely a fire below, and a rain cloud above… it’s the weird connection between the two which intrigues me…
What do you think?
Are there any experts out there who can verify that this can happen?? Or am I the only person who thinks this is strange and unusual??

Soooooo, do you have any volcanic/geyser activity in the area . . .
It does look like the cloud is rising to me.
Are you going to let us know (please) if/when you find out what’s actually happening (happened)?

In my neck of the woods, it would ba a rain cloud and a spot shower.

I found some pics of fires with a smoke cloud like yours. longest url ever: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://lh4.ggpht.com/_A3uKFxUr1sI/RQYmAUCwABI/AAAAAAAABOY/A7aKaLiIeyc/DSC02728.jpg&imgrefurl=http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ijFeSnRgIahWuGb2w36alQ&h=1200&w=1600&sz=12&hl=en&start=35&um=1&usg=__W3rdAMwSnByqVheGdCNdeE70DkQ=&tbnid=MXG9Gc6vLj1t6M:&tbnh=113&tbnw=150&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsmoke%2Bcloud%26start%3D18%26ndsp%3D18%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN
I think the ash particles make the it look like a rain cloud.
I'm doing more research as we speak!

Thanks for offerings guys… not sure if I was clear in the description… I KNOW the fire was below and the rain cloud seperate above but they seemed to be almost ‘feeding’ on each other if that makes sense. It wasn;t actually raining into the fire (as far as the boys could tell – and they were reasonably close to the fire)…

really? – I thought the last shot looked like a bird spreading its wings about to leave the nest…and the first one a genie coming from a hidden bottle – but then, that is a game I always play!
