    I took these looking SSW from Cork Airport weather station around midday today. There were no other clouds in the sky, a beautiful calm morning, but these beauts stood to attention around 50-60 miles away, as can be seen from the sat pic for the time. The observer quoted their bases as 540m....not an easy feat from that distance!

    I took a few photos of the weather station itself - right along the road at the entrance to the airport.

    Oh thank you, thank you SO much!

    Driving on the N24 approx 4.30pm, between Clonmel & the M8 there was an enormous one of these off towards the south, didn't look too far away to be honest...with a smaller one behind it (or a same-size one further away, depending on your perspective I suppose :pac: ) the sun was setting behind them and they looked absolutely magnificent, almost "not of this world" in their appearance - I was absolutely raging that I didn't have a camera with me...really must join the 21st century and invest in a phone which does more than phonecalls haha!

    I've no idea what their techy 'cloud name' is, but they looked like huge anvils to me!

    If anyone was anywhere near Clonmel / N24 / M8 at approx the same time as me, you couldn't fail to have seen them, they utterly dominated the sky....fingers crossed someone got pics of them! Truly breath-taking with the low winter sun behind them

    You mean like at the Belmullet station?

    ...or Malin Head, with the building a few feet away? It seems very close?

    Here's a hi-res MODIS image (1 pixel=250m) of the Cbs last Sunday, taken at exactly the time I took my photos.
