Is that all real? Or some kind of photoshop game?

They are real.  Pretty uncommon and they only last for a few minutes.  I've only managed to photograph the Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds once and sadly it wasn't a particularly good photo.

Still cool shot Ryan! That image is worth it just for the golds it has.

Thanks for the confirmation. I have never (that I can remember) even seen this one time  :( I'll will be on the look out now though!

Cool clouds. With the new vortex shader this will be a nice challenge... vortex in shader array, restrict by height.....
