I have seen tall columns of clouds before, and they are associated with rain. I looked it up before writing this post, and I believe it is called Cumulonimbus. I pulled over and got a picture because there was a partial rainbow. The rainbow disappeared quickly, but the cloud persisted.

Cloud Column and Rainbow
The second photo was taken 40 minutes later on a country road west of Strasburg.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky, clouds and a pretty rainbow. Take care, have a great day and happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of short lived rainbow, and strange tall cloud which continued for a long time!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful skies. A lovely partial rainbow!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a rainbow in months, so enjoyed yours (and I'm not sure I've ever seen a column like that). The cloud in your second photo looked like a pointer - I wonder what it was trying to point out. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
