Hole Punch Clouds Over Helena

Thanks to Ben Clements for these shots… always interesting to see images of these “hole punch” clouds over Alabama:

“Hi James,

Last Saturday afternoon In Helena while putting up Christmas lights, The high, thin clouds were being “punched” from above. Here are the photos. I have a few more of the event if you are interested. A glorious sunset followed, and I will send you one of those as well.”
