I was amazed to see this unusual weather phenomena off the coast of Encinitas this morning. I took 10 shots and stitched them together to produce this image. It is totally off topic, so please forgive me for posting it, but I thought it was such a cool shot I had to share it.

This picture was taken from my backyard in Rancho Penasquitos. Black Mountain is to the left and the shot overlooks Carmel Valley to the west out to Encnitas. How many funnel clouds you can count in this image?

I took 10 shots panning left to right. I used HP Photo Stitch to put them together. I adjusted Levels, and Curves, and used Un Sharp Mask to sharpen.
