Pillars of Cloud and Fire

It was written in the Book of Exodus that 'By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire'. Now, I'm not Christian, but that image reminded me so much of the quote. It was created on Midsummer's night 2011 in Southeast England as an alto-stratus cloud which reflected the sun's light to look like a burning cloud.

Smothered Giant

This image is from the same perspective as 'Blue Bowl', but on an entirely different day. The giant mountain has been covered up by heavy clouds moving in to blanket the slopes with fresh snow. Although this is a blessing later, it makes for difficult visibility in the area, dangerous when people are skiing.
