Sunset Clouds to the North

Sunset Clouds over the mountains to the North from Goleta Beach

The clouds were amazing this evening. If they were not so thin and wispy I would have been looking for a tornado shelter. Many interesting waves and swirls, even a few small wispy cones. They started to break up even more as we tried to find a good place to take my new camera for a spin. My 20D took it's 40,000th shot last evening. It is far from done with it's useful life, but it is time to send it for a professional cleaning.

This shot is facing the mountains, North from Goleta beach. The sun was doing some interesting mottled things through the fading clouds at the horizon. This was in some ways a better show than the actual sunset in the west.
