Random Shots: Cloud Formations at 33k ft

Alas, some entertaining cloud shots.

Any meteorologists out there will no doubt be able to recognize a few more of the formations and in greater detail than moi. For such (or any other science geek), this video was shot between 14:30 and 16:00 on 19 August 2007, while flying westbound from Ft. Walton Beach, FL to Dallas/Ft. Worth at a top altitude of 10,000 m (33,000 ft).

Thank you for thoughts. It's hard to capture on video how captivating and amazing a view it is. :)
