Just a few miles from Death Valley National Park’s Eastern entrance, I noticed three frail funnel clouds dancing across the horizon. I don’t know if these wispy funnels were caused by gusts of swirling wind, or if they were merely the curving spaces between descending columns of distant rain. In any event, they bring the flow of the clouds in this image almost down to ground level. It is an image of nature doing what it does best – showing off.
