Gratuitous cloud pictures

Two days ago, as I was driving down to Arroyo Seco, this cloud bank was lying low over the mountains.  It was so very dark and ominous, not to mention a bit unusual, I pulled over for one of my iPhone paparazzi trips.  The edge of this layer was rolling out to the far west, over where I live.  The darkest part was over the pass to the ski valley. 

At the end of the day, when the clouds lifted, there was snow on them thar mountains.  It was spectacular.
