DPS President David Trout recently photographed an unusual and dramatic cloud formation. David said, “I took the picture from Frankland Lane recently and posted it on the Pentax User Forum. An airline pilot commented that they are Fallstreak Holes caused by aircraft punching through and that to get two side by side is unusual”.
The picture, also seen below, has now been published on the Cloud Appreciation Society website.

The Cloud Appreciation Society was founded by Gavin Pretor-Pinney from the UK in 2005. The society aims to foster understanding and appreciation of clouds and has nearly 25,000 members from over 80 countries.
The website is quirky: “At The Cloud Appreciation Society we love clouds, we’re not ashamed to say it and we’ve had enough of people moaning about them …. we are fighting the banality of ‘blue-sky thinking’”
It’s a must for landscape photographers and anyone interested in learning more about clouds.
The picture gallery contains a large number of fascinating images of clouds taken by photographers from all over the world. As David has discovered, it is a simple process to post images.
