It was a weird day with weird looking clouds! Take a look at these formations of Mammatus clouds I photographed over Nicosia around 16:00 yesterday. According to wikipedia they are: "...a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. The name mammatus, derived from the Latin mamma (meaning "udder" or "breast"), refers to a resemblance between the characteristic shape of these clouds and the breast of a woman."
p.s. So the word "Mamma" comes from the Latin word for "breast"?
