Here are some unusual photos of clouds. They are so beautiful and yet we seem to take them for granted!

Those are really fantastic pictures, thank you for sharing them! Did you take any yourself?
You don't see many odd cloud formations here but i do remember once on a bus trip i saw a large cloud with a really massive hole right through the middle, almost like an Eye of the Storm, it was pretty cool.
I especially like that orange mushroom cloud, i think i would have been a little freaked out if i saw that, it looks dangerous!

the mushroom clouds are super cells. those are usually very intense thunderstorms, often producing heavy rains, strong winds, hail, and some tornadoes. if you see a big mushroom cloud like one of those, it'd probably be a good idea to head for shelter unless you'd like to go to oz. 
oh! and as a quick thought, here are a couple of cloud pictures that i've taken... nothing unusual, just kind of neat...

I'm afraid not. In England we only have one kind - the big gray blanket kind that rains non-stop

my guess would be that there are a few very small spots of high pressure in those areas for whatever reason.
