A mushroom cloud

While we were on our house-boat trip on the Loire canal in France we passed by some nuclear cooling towers. We knew it was coming up from what we’d seen on Google, and well before we could see the towers we saw the cloud high in the sky. It took on this strange shape which I found quite ominous. However, it makes a nice photo.

I often see things in the clouds, I love doing it but people think I am crazy.

@andriaperry Lots of people do that but to me they almost always just look like clouds.

@cacay1 That's true. You don't know what to believe any more.

It's amazing what turns up sometimes. In some ways, it's been spoilt as people photoshop their photos to create shapes so you never know now if photos are real or not.

@judyev Looks like it’s about to attack. We were living on Paris when Chernobyl blew its top and the news was full of the possibility of a ‘cloud, or radio-active whatnots blowing towards us and people kept worrying about oddly shaped clouds.

I have to admit I was eyeing the whole thing off with great suspicion. As we got closer we could see the cooling towers not all that far away.

Actually the Mushroom clouds reminds one of those devastating Nuclear explosions over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And I wonder what could be in those clouds? Heavy water in gas form?

@cacay1 If it is toxic, it is bad for people around. May be they are filtering it out a bit.

It's from the cooling towers so I think it would be water.

I have to admit I was pleased once we'd gone past the towers and we could no longer see them.

@JudyEv it's an old Nintendo game and when they squished the mushrooms they would get a power up I think and the character Mario double in size.

Sorry but I'm not sure what you're referring to here - the Mario Bros. Maybe it's an American thing. :)
