2 interesting picytures of high level "rotating cloud". Taken overhead Northern suburbs / Cape Town last week.
Sorry the quaility not great as taken with Phone Camera.

Also just observable in the pics is a feint "funnel' and "wall" of wispy cloud seemingly being sicked up into this centre and around the edges of the formation. It dissapated after about 15 minutes
- last time I saw a tornado was up in the highveld near Delmas - but that was a whole different kettle of fish and had us driving like blazes to get away from it. :roll: :shock:

I probably have enough for a calendar as i have taken from Inhambane down to Kei Mouth so far, (and Swaziland for the MTN year book) that was taken with film and scanned..still better than digital. Taken about two years ago from Jicas mountain between Cato and Ballito.

The Hole in the wall is also a lovely part of the world.

Please excuse my ignorance of either Photoshop or a Microlight's abilities. Is that trike not at 90 degrees with the horizon, and does that not require a couple of G's and some Guts? Help!
