KENY10D-346
March 20, 2010
Clouds, as I'm sure I've mentioned before, are truly a magnificent creation. And there are no two that are alike, much like persons, but they also hold a regionality to them that is not always apparent. I remember clouds in California, growing up. They were usually cold masses moving off the Pacific, monotone and flat, bringing rain in the winter (for it pretty much never rains in the summer). Then there were those clouds that spring up in the midwest. They have no mountains to hinder their formation, and consequently you get these large, multi-storied creations, that are a dazzle to behold. These imperious water vapor towers roam over the landscape at will, and perhaps unleash violent storms when they see fit. I hadn't seen their like, until visiting Kenya. Here this tremendous mass was sweeping over the savanna, and the dark underbellies were unleashing springtime rains as they went. Truly incredible. Enjoy.
