Thank you Orio,
It's very light HDR processing in order to bring out the very detail you are speaking about. It worked!
I live just a few miles from there. I was going out to a new restaurant that we discovered in the tiny town of Blanco, Texas. It's a rebuilt historical Jail and absolutely beautiful. I will send some pictures form there the next time we go.
Cheers

Thanks,
I'm sure that's the light HDR rendering.

Great photo; I'd also love to come across one of these in my life time.
In the meanwhile, I'd like to point out.... "mammalian" doesn't sound right  Here I was expecting to see various clouds shaped like giraffes, rhinos, lions.... |

Well mammalian denotes that the the animal is milk-producing (from mammary glands). While most animals don't have protruding glands, as in the case with humans, I think the breast is what we most think of when we hear mammary. Since the clouds look like "bumps" I guess someone found it comical to name them accordingly.
I'd prefer "mammatus clouds" over "breast clouds" any day of the week. |

No no, I'm OK with mammatus; that's what I always thought these were called. I'm just saying, mammatus, means "in the form of mammaries" while mammalian means "like mammals" or "of mammals". I'm just being a stickler dick, in other words.
Personally, I'd prefer "boob clouds" over mammatus clouds any day of the week. |
