BEAUTIFUL footage. What is the name of the type of cloud from 0:44 to 1:08?

Thanks so much for sharing this.

(Curious about the dates, though. YouTube shows you uploaded it on May 2nd, but your description dated the sunset as occurring on May 24th. April 24th, maybe?)

@LookinatLife Many thanks. The type of cloud is called 'mammatus'. It forms beneath thunderstorm 'anvils' sometimes, and is most picturesque when viewed around sunset. This video is from 2010, hence the date!

@paulknightley Thank you for responding so quickly! There's always more to learn, and I enjoy doing so.

I'm not sure how I managed to notice the difference in days but not the years. I appreciate your being kind when correcting my error. :o)
