I don't know what the hell that cloud is doing there, I don't remember it. Maybe a diesel truck passed by? Guam, outside my yard.

Ivan, that second picture is amazing O.O

Back in the day, I liked sunsets like the one in this thread, but then I moved to Arizona where we have those nearly every day.

Really, having grown up in a near desert climate, I love the fog and rain. But It's hard to not like a sunny day... and I would love to be riding some of those waves, MK.

btw, I just grabbed a couple of fog pic from the internet. :biggrin:
