I saw this the other day at the end of an afternoon with the sun low in the sky. The scenery struck me as being very apt – the Camel’s Hump is a mamelon, formed about 6 million years ago when thick lava forced its way through a narrow vent…the clouds almost look like smoke from a volcano.

Formed 6 million yrs ago yet still steaming! Awesome photo.

Looks active – very active in your shot.
That’s what I thought when I saw it!
great image Lisa, such contrast in both colour tone and landscape texture
Thanks Matty 🙂
Excellent choices for monochrome rendition of both land- and skyscape textures and luminance. I can get lost in this one.
Thank you. The sky was definitely better in b&w 🙂
Love the clouds, Lisa – and you’re talking to an ex-geologist here, so mamelon is of interest. Adrian
Thanks Adrian – there are three significant ones around here, Hanging Rock being another of them.
