West Beckwith Mountain Mammatus Clouds Crested Butte Colorado Photos

I was operating two cameras during this tumultuous thunderstorm as it rapidly surged over Kebler Pass west of Crested Butte. One camera was shooting a timelapse to make a short movie of the weather event, the other was this still camera to capture the perfect intersection of light, cloud and mountain. What you see here are mammatus clouds forming the underbelly of a tall thunderhead that just swept over the area. Mammatus clouds often form in the wake after such thunderstorms as the Cumulonimbus mother cloud trucks on.
