    I first thought it was clouds on Mars. Turns out it’s the Sahara.

    Good to see some clouds have been photoshopped in, not too sure if the rule of thirds has been applied correctly.

    We get to see ISIS in action controlling the weather. Sweet.

    Anyone have a pic of it projecting UFOs over O’hare or texas?

    If a man farts in the desert and there is no one to smell it, do it still create clouds?

    Is that the Sahara?–could be with all that dirt. Looks like lenticular roll clouds which form downwind from mountain peaks which I don’t see in the photo, nature is variable like that.

    and yes, the rule of thirds was almost followed here. Note the false horizon of space is NOT dead center and the roll clouds are not dead center–so better picture as a result.

    ed-
    there is a running joke in this sits comments about clouds and thirds.

    look at the recent London photos to see what I mean. (or don’t you read posts other than your own)
