Yep.  They are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the worlds fair in Seattle.  
Even painted the space needle in the original colors.  I remember when they 
were building it.

Aram, 


Very, very nice photos; I have never seen anything like these clouds.


Back in the late 1960s, at the base of the Space Needle in Seattle, there was a 
museum of cloud types, from work that had been done by one or more people at 
UW. They had photos and explanations of more rare cloud types than you could 
shake a stick at and I spent quite a bit of time one Sunday taking it all in. I 
don't know what happened to all that material; it's probably somewhere in the 
UW archives.


I just did the math and that was more than fifty years ago. Gad! I'm getting 
old...


Best,


Bill

  6 shots begin here in the gallery:

  This one is a composite of 8 shots.

  Kept hoping for some lightning.  Now that would have really been the icing on 
the cake.

  They are all pretty similar, but different enough I posted 6.  Hard pressed 
for me to pick a favorite, so feel free to help out.

  View large, please.  Comments and criticism welcome.
