Saturday Photo Hunt - Clouds

My 64th
This Week's Theme: Clouds
SPH Headquarters ~ The Other 63




I took this photo while traveling to a family reunion. I noticed a dark line in the clouds and I couldn't figure out what it was. I snapped the photo to show hubby later. He couldn't see them because he was driving. Any suggestions as to what the dark line might have been?

That's a lovely shot. I see telephone lines but couldn't figure out what those dark shades are.

Lovely things to see on a road trip :)

I often see dark clouds floating low in the morning sky and it usually rains in the afternoon.

Mine's up! Hope you can visit all four of them.

There's nothing wrong with your picture - they are lovely clouds. Many thanks for your charming comment.

Your photo reminds me of a Turner painting - the same clouds. :)

I just posted here but can't see my post- so am trying again. Sorry if it comes up twice!
Your photo reminds me of a Jobim song called Djindi- It starts like this:
Vast, so vast is the sky!"
Lovely photo
Happy weekend

Hi Tisha. My dog Reba and I both love your photo. Beautiful clouds. They come in so many different shapes, sizes, formations so are always nice to see.

It's a lovely shot. I am sure an airplane could be blamed on the dark lines :)

Along that long stretch of road, it seems like a wonderful array of clouds are lining the road :)

hmmm... looks like black smoke.... I can't tell.
Happy weekend!

No idea at all, but the others seems like possible explanations.

Perhaps reflection off your window? Or is the window open? LOL You got me.

My clouds are posted, a bit different in 'take' this week, stop by if you can and see what you think! Have a great weekend.

Kat said...

Very pretty!

Sarge Charlie said...

Maybe it is smoke

maryt/theteach said...

Don't know, Tisha! Maybe it's smoke like Sarge said. :)

Baker Watson said...

My guess is that those are clouds that just happen to be lower and darker. It looks like smoke but in a larger view they look more like clouds to me due to their rounded shapes.

Great cloud shots. They remind us that there are so often opportunities for great photo's even while riding down the road.

I love that shot! Perfect for the theme;-)

A low-flying plane in bad need of an oil change? I don't have a clue, but it's great that you got it on film.

very strange, great photo!
thanks for visiting mine :-)

Kim said...

Great photo! Once I enlarged the photo I could see power lines and then the dark cloud above it. It seems to be that it was a thinner cloud that has the shadow of the bigger cloud above it on it. Make sense?

Thanks for visiting mine!

Happy Photo Hunting!

Akelamalu said...

Are they telephone cables???

Good photo though even with the lines.

Thanks for your comment on Sophie's birthday memory, I appreciate it. x

Babs (Beetle) said...

I noticed that before I read your post. How strange! Could be a shadow of the cloud above maybe.

Beautiful shot! Have a great weekend!

Maybe a plane just past by earlier ?
But it is still a beautiful shot.
Thanks for dropping by mine and have a great weekend

clearly it's the outline of the mother ship about to abduct some hapless cows

Anonymous said...

WOW! Very nice cloud formation, makes for a great painting!

you didn't mean the pole lines, did you?

have to agree with Mitey Mite. seems like a low-flying plane in bad need of an oil change! LOL

Karen Coutu said...

That's a tricky one! I haven't a clue. Great shot though!!

Here's mine . . .

Absolutely beautiful but as you know, I do have a thing for clouds!

storyteller said...

Sorry to hear you caught a ‘stomach bug’ and hope you’re feeling better soon. I enjoyed the beautiful blue setting off your clouds today ;--)
Hugs and blessings,

Shawie said...

wow! that's a great capture! but that dark line caught my attention at first... looked like a smoke from the car, lol!

Ladykli said...

Very mysterious. Perhaps it was from a passing semi? Great photo anyway.

Wow! Cool picture!!

Anonymous said...

At first I thought it might be shadows, but it turned the upper parts of the clouds behind it a different color. I'm guessing it's smoke or exhaust. Nice work: a cloud photo and a puzzle!

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

I have always loved to watch clouds and find big puffy animals in them . :o)

mistyeiz said...

cant figure those lines out but at one glance, it just looks like 'dirt' on a hardcopy of a photo. ;) lovely all the same. thanks for stopping by.

Jillie Bean (AKA Bubba's Sis) said...

Power lines?

Amazing Gracie said...

You'd need ol' Sherlock for this one! Great photo, though. I love clouds!
~~~Blessings~~~

Did you take the photo from inside your car? I always get window reflection smudge prints when I take photos without putting the window down. Then again maybe it's just a black cloud -- yikes the possibilities are endless!

Tina said...

it all looks rather spooky to me i must say hmmmm !

Desert Songbird said...

If that were around my end of the country, I'd say it's either smoke from a fire or smog and pollution.
