Morning Glory Clouds

<div style="text-align: justify;">The Morning Glory cloud is a rare meteorological phenomenon occasionally observed in different locations around the world. The southern part of Northern Australia's Gulf of Carpentaria is the only known location where it can be predicted and observed on a more or less regular basis. The settlement of Burketown attracts glider pilots intent on riding this phenomenon.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Despite being studied extensively, the Morning Glory cloud is not clearly understood. Regardless of the complexity behind the nature of this atmospheric phenomenon, some conclusions have been made about its causes. Through research, one of the main causes of most Morning Glory occurrences is due to the mesoscale circulations associated with sea breezes that develop over the peninsula and the gulf</div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSv9Pp0pxdJk7AK10Z7JPn3gVD98BvpwSNP_GQjOYOVf-Wb9XplxCG6oKjc_hpJPN1uptMJ5wVj6KpZTdY8-YE0VrZP1bD-OfzIeCGy_UpXgabsH7Ygg4MfX9R_Ezal2jVDl03a75fWEWi/s1600/Morning+Glory+Clouds+010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSv9Pp0pxdJk7AK10Z7JPn3gVD98BvpwSNP_GQjOYOVf-Wb9XplxCG6oKjc_hpJPN1uptMJ5wVj6KpZTdY8-YE0VrZP1bD-OfzIeCGy_UpXgabsH7Ygg4MfX9R_Ezal2jVDl03a75fWEWi/s640/Morning+Glory+Clouds+010.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">A Morning Glory cloud is a roll cloud that can be up to 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) long, 1 to 2 kilometres (0.62 to 1.2 mi) high, often only 100 to 200 metres (330 to 660 ft) above the ground and can move at speeds up to 60 kilometres (37 mi) per hour.

Thor's Well - Mjölnir Landing Area

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Not many people realize the existence of an amazing nature place called Thor's Well. Located at Cape Perpetua, Oregon, the surf surge rock without doubt is very unique. It occurs at a moderate to high tide with strong surf. The hole can be seen from the parking area at the far end of the rock shelf on the north side of Cook's Chasm. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Thor's Well is part of Cape Perpetua, a typical Pacific Northwest headland, a forested area of land on the central Oregon Coast, surrounded by water on three sides. Thor's Well is also often simply called the Spouting Horn. Thor's Well alternately launches and swallows water as if it were a living thing. It is essentially a huge salt water fountain operated by the Pacific Ocean's power.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This natural spectacle is at its best when it’s the most dangerous to watch, at high tide or during winter storms. Why it call Thor's Well? Maybe because people do believe that Thor drop his hammer (Mjölnir) onto this area and punch a hole on earth.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Following are the photos taken from very brave and dedicated photographers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivF39lJHCX2UdhqJtkw0BImLMZDi2pu3l4Q-4eIYS_b5ARVA0InVd-n0xV0G8udI1L_sqrintC2buyuhN26aPX5ynziF06ARwujBlMQLbdkbG57FBMsn4HpTzwU3aQGGlPLgbNPuQ1hfE/s1600/Thor+Well+009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="392" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivF39lJHCX2UdhqJtkw0BImLMZDi2pu3l4Q-4eIYS_b5ARVA0InVd-n0xV0G8udI1L_sqrintC2buyuhN26aPX5ynziF06ARwujBlMQLbdkbG57FBMsn4HpTzwU3aQGGlPLgbNPuQ1hfE/s640/Thor+Well+009.jpg" width="640"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg24n3QxK-JyAwEr261kB1oPiUBY8NKYLkbgT0jonrkSD40JIYeNurVJyZiYOxToCr6aiVpNXoVP0vmI9UbwLzEI2ExfleXNBXV_BNcqyzRxaWmhoNnK-TIDaXd1WhcxseRvJ_flqik1JM/s1600/Thor+Well+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg24n3QxK-JyAwEr261kB1oPiUBY8NKYLkbgT0jonrkSD40JIYeNurVJyZiYOxToCr6aiVpNXoVP0vmI9UbwLzEI2ExfleXNBXV_BNcqyzRxaWmhoNnK-TIDaXd1WhcxseRvJ_flqik1JM/s640/Thor+Well+001.jpg" width="640"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br></div><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/10/thors-well-mjolnir-landed-area.html#more">Click to read more »</a>
