As the cloud arrived from the north on the mountain, the winds from the ocean grabbed it and spun it.
You just have to watch this series of shots.
Ever seen a spinning cloud in the sky before?
A real amazing event and the scene played like a movie before my eyes.
So obviously I followed the moves of the spinning cloud with my camera, as it was a first time for me to see this,
Something else also happened.
The spinning cloud grew bigger and I wondered if it would explode.
But no, the top of cloud spun off in long lines that wind from the north grabbed and passed it back to cross the lines that were spinning off.
Slowly but surely the layers were peeling off from the spinning cloud.
The lines spun off until the spinning cloud disappeared.
And then the spinning cloud was no more, finished and kaput.
As I said, it was a first for me as I have never seen anything like this before and only afterwards I realized that I should have made a video of this amazing action. Who would ever have thought that opposing winds could spin a cloud like a top and then take the string of cloud lines off it?
For those that do not know what a top is have a look here.
