This occurrence happened last year, but I never posted the images. I noticed a weird light through the window, and once I stepped closer I was more then surprised to see this cloud hovering above the city. Now, Mostar is not known for any tornados or something like that, so I wasn't scared when I saw this. But still, the glowing light that came from it was more then intriguing.
The fact that the cloud was so close to the earth was even more curious. I quickly grabbed my camera and snapped some images, two of which I chose to present to you today.

Nature can be weird sometimes.

Wow. I wonder what type of cloud that is.
ReplyDeleteOh My God... absolutely stunning snap.. never seen like this
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing cloud formation. It does look like a tornado.. Cool images, Mersad!
ReplyDeleteAmazing and interesting, Mersad! Do you know what caused it? Was it a tornado or a cyclone?
ReplyDeleteHappy week!
Wil, ABCW Team.
I have no idea what caused it, but it wasn't a tornado or cyclone.
DeleteI would be tempted to say it is a lenticular cloud but whatever it is it's impressive.
ReplyDeleteUjj, es schaut aber megagefährlich aus, wie ein Wirbelsturm daraus wäre. Liebe Grüße
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a cloud like this. it is scary and wonderful at the same time.. looks like a monster come to gobble up the earth... great capture
ReplyDeleteMacht mich auch glatt ein wenig nervös das Bild.......;-D! Aber toll sieht´s aus! GlG Anne
ReplyDeleteMich auch zuerst, da ich nicht wusste was als nächstes passiert :)
DeleteAmazing shots!
ReplyDeletefabulous and ominous!
ReplyDeleteOH WOW! That is one amazing and mysterious cloud. Great shot of it, too. :)
ReplyDeleteWow. It looks like it could become a tornado. It would make me rather nervous!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! Thanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-beautiful-almond-tree.html
Wow - looks like aliens are trying to take over!
ReplyDeleteIt sure did when I stood under it! :)
DeleteRemarkable! Scary and beautiful at the same time.
ReplyDeleteYes Bill"s right Scary and beautiful at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Felicia. Will look it up!
ReplyDeleteThat cloud is amazing. I've seen photos similar to this on Flickr but, I've never seen a cloud that looked like this in person. What an amazing sight.
ReplyDeleteA lenticular cloud gone loony.
ReplyDeleteFantastic capture!
It really did go wild on us there. Thanks for your comment.
DeleteWow- if I saw that here, I would be scrambling for a storm shelter! Very cool, Mersad.
ReplyDeleteWOW....also mal gut dass du sie uns noch zeigst, vor allem auch dass du gerade im richtigen Moment aus dem Fenster geschaut hast. Eine tolle Aufnahme!!
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüssle

Those are amazing pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing cloud. I've never seen anything like it. - Margy
ReplyDeleteMagnificent and creepy at the same time. :) It almost looks like it has life. I'm going to say I would have been worried.
ReplyDeleteAwesome capture!
Just a cloud in the end, but it was a great photo opportunity :)
DeleteNow, THIS is unusual.
ReplyDeleteNever seen anything like this ..... bravo!
ReplyDeleteJM, IL-U.S.A.
These are gorgeous Mersad! A little scary but way more intriguing...
ReplyDeleteIt was equally intriguing seeing it disappear into thin air. Thanks for stopping by Sid.
DeleteOh my good, what this...it looks so mysterious !
ReplyDeleteThis is a spectacular shot, gratulation.
Greetings from germany
Amazing captures, Mersad. The cloud is the sort stories are written about... sci-fi, mystery, even horror. I wish my thinking cap was on straight... smiles.
ReplyDeleteThreatening sky! If I had seen something like that cloud in the USA, I would have headed for the basement. Great capture!
ReplyDeleteThat is insane!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Fantastic! Glad you posted these shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
DeleteThat is an amazing photo--you were at the right place at the right time. Great capture. And you are right, nature is weird sometimes , but pretty awesome too. Mickie :)
ReplyDeleteThose are terrific shots! Nature is an unpredictable beast for certain! Lovely that you were able to see this first hand. Thank you for sharing and enjoy a wonderful weekend. You have a gift for photography.
ReplyDeleteWow, fabulous shots! That would have really scared me -- it sure looks like it's a tornado in the making! Now the glowing light... perhaps we are witnessing a UFO?!!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you had your camera to capture that! Lovely shots...
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is a a conversation piece. Scary beautiful.
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
Incredible!
ReplyDeleteGreat capture, Mersad. I believe Felicia may be right about the type of cloud. We had one form over San Antonio TX several weeks ago - freaked everyone out, lol!
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit like a scene from a movie Mersad.. Ghost Busters comes to mind :) Amazing capture, hard to imagine nothing came of it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit like a scene from a movie Mersad.. Ghost Busters comes to mind :) Amazing capture, hard to imagine nothing came of it!
ReplyDeleteWow! We had some weather last night... maybe even some wild clouds like yours! Gorgeous catch!
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteMollyxxx
You certainly had a good seat from which to capture it....right place at the right time♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/tree-tease-a-short-treatise/
ReplyDeleteTruly amazing cloud formation. So glad you grabbed the camera to snap a few shots.
ReplyDeleteIt is really scary if seen just once in that area! Are you sure you didn't see anything hard concealed inside those clouds?
ReplyDeleteStunning shots! Amazing cloud formation...
ReplyDeleteWow! It looks ominous!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! Lenticular from the mountains, I am guessing, but so odd that it is dark! Beautiful and a little worrisome, I am sure when it was happening!
