Nothing technical or anything.

I stopped my car in traffic a few days ago and got out to take a
snapshot of this bizarre cloud formation just before sunset. I
thought some here might like it. The composition could be better, but
it was a grab shot that I was lucky to get at all. I tweaked the
curves in PS a bit and cropped it minimally, and sized it for the web.

http://www.kriho.com/phenom/cloud_hole.jpg

AFAIK it's not really known what causes these types of formations.


They can be caused by any minor updraft that is drier than the air layer in
which the alto-cumulous clouds formed. Forming a pocket of air too dry to
condense into clouds. Even a small elevation rise of the ground of that
same diameter might be enough to push a lower layer of drier air into the
moister higher layer as it passes underneath it in a slow laminar flow.
Check any topographic maps to see if the land rises beneath the clouds
where you photographed that formation.

When the opposite effect happens it's called a "lenticular cloud".
Lenticular = lens-shaped. A bump/bubble of warmer more moist layer of air
rises up into a colder layer and condenses into crisply defined dense
circular shapes, relatively smaller in diameter than most other clouds in
the area. The origin of many a UFO report. Some of them are quite
astounding looking, having several stacked disks of varying graduated
sizes. Especially interesting looking when lit by a setting or rising sun,
the times of day when they are more commonly seen, when prevailing winds
tend to die down enough to allow them to form. (Also the reason hot-air
balloon launches are generally scheduled for those times of day.)
Lenticular clouds are also more common over mountainous and hilly terrain
where the slow laminar air-flows can be pushed up into colder air layers
directly above the higher areas of land.

Over the years I have a photographed a collection of lenticular clouds
myself. One of my more favorite photos is of about 5 stacked and
graduated-in-size disks. Taken around noon while I was out in a large open
area of water in the 10,000 Islands area of the Everglades while kayaking.
I was surprised to see one that intricately formed at that time of day and
especially over such flat land and waters. The other surprising thing was
there were very few other clouds in the sky and all very distant. I've
never seen one like it before nor since. If something like that had formed
over any populated area then people calling into news-centers to report a
giant UFO invasion would have been guaranteed.

I thought "Mister Wizard" passed awhile back. Are you the cloned spawn?



The url posted works fine in a decent news reader such as agent, it's
not wrapped and launches with a double-click. What's your excuse?

Why should he bother?

He can send long URLs without first wrapping them. I clicked on it and
it worked.

You can even send wrapped URLs if you enclose them in and characters,
like you should. I corrected the quoted URL that way.

I like to see what kind of link I'm going to click on. So I don't bother
clicking on shortened links.
