Mammatus Clouds Country Landscape Sky Art Print

Mammatus clouds with a country landscape out the Colorado agriculture farming plains with a view of two  small silos.  Mammatus, also known as mammatocumulus (meaning “mammary cloud” or “breast cloud”), is a meteorological term applied to a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. The name mammatus is derived from the Latin mamma (meaning “udder” or “breast”). True to their ominous appearance, mammatus clouds are often harbingers of a coming storm or other extreme weather system.  So when you see this you know all heel is about to break lose 🙂 .  Mammatus clouds are associated with very powerful storms that can occur in the summer, and are a sign of the massive quantities of water vapour that are held in the summer air.

Here are Some Cool Mammatus Cloud Facts

• Mammatus clouds can be found on the underside of the anvils of severe thunderstorms (especially supercell thunderstorms), resembling sagging pouches that are made up primarily of ice crystals.
• These clouds can look like a field of tennis balls or melons.
• Composed primarily of ice, Mammatus Clouds can extend for hundreds of miles in each direction.
• Despite popular misconception, mammatus clouds are not a sign that a tornado is about to form.
• mammatus clouds can appear especially dramatic if sunlit from the side at sunset or sunrise.

This stunning artwork gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4″ thick sheet of clear acrylic. The image is the art – it doesn’t get any cleaner than that! All acrylic prints ship within 3 – 4 business days and arrive “ready to hang” with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2). The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of the image to produce stunning results. There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print. Option #1 (Mounting Posts) – Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts.   The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall.   When you’re finished, simply reattached each cap, and you’re done.   The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1″.   All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Option #2 (Hanging Wire) – With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4″ thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back.   There are no metal mounting posts at the corners.   Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you’re done.   Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50″    Order Here.
