Rain Sails are common over Las Vegas in the Monsoon Season. Small clusters of rain clouds pour their badly needed rain upon the valley floor far below as do the very large and angry storms. The rain sails, or shafts, always look beautiful to me as seen from the ground, in two of these photos, those sails are at about the same altitude as the aircraft. Lovely! I really miss the fun of flight, and of couse my family in Michigan.

No rain here, justsmooth flight
It’s quite rainy in Ontario right now too and I am loving it!
that’s a new term for me. Fun to learn something new!
Really, OK! It’s cool to see them from their altitude.
Do you know there is a rain that only rains in the sky doesn’t fall on earth… Once I read in somewhere and has a name too, but I can’t remember now, maybe I noted in somewhere. I remember this now. Beautiful photographs, Thank you dear John, have a nice day, Love, nia
I think that’s what happens here too often, Nia. It’s so dry here that the rain evaporates quickly. The humidity at my home right now is just 14%, very low!
