During my flight to the Philippines in Sept 2000, I photo'ed this hi-rising thunderhead over an Indonesian
island. The plane was cruising at 40,000 ft at the time and the thunderhead is almost to the same height

Huge stormcell over Downtown Sydney, 30 Jan. 2004. It came down out of the mountains,
travelling east over the top of me in Ryde and out off the coast. It was reasonably fast
moving producing some lightning overhead and a brief burst of heavy rain.

Leaving for home from work back in March 2004, I saw this brief lasting (~ 5 mins) loop
of cloud. I suspect that the jet aircraft, seen in the left of the pic, may have produced the
loop with its wake turbulence. None the less its an intriguing pic.

David Simpson and Jane ONeill -- Have both said that this "Horseshoe Vortex" was naturally
occuring and that the aircraft proximity was coincidental
