Summer Clouds in the Geneva Valley

The cloud scenery in the Geneva valley is totally spectacular and ever-changing. Sometimes it looks like the clouds have exploded.








On the way into Geneva I took this photograph from inside the bus.About an hour or two later I returned to find the cloud like this.Clouds like these can be seen bubbling on hot summer afternoons. They either develop into dramatic thunder and lightning rainstorms or evaporate in a quiet puff.

The clouds seem to come over the Jura mountains in waves.



Sometimes the cloud wave is big and seems completely continuous; it feels like it's going to keep flowing until it has engulfed everything below it.

At other times the clouds appear in discontinuous strips, popping over the mountains one by one.



The most impressive funneling effect I've seen was looking out the window one evening recently to see this.
