While in NZ last year I was struck by how a tagline for NZ is "The Land
of the Long White Cloud", yet I could not find in any tourist spot or
museum a really good, poster size lenticular image. One lady at the
Auckland museum said, "It's a myth!", whereupon I corrected her with
the explanation of what it is and how it supposedly helped the Maori
people to find land (and I'm from California). The best I could do was
to walk into the Met building in Wellington and buy one of their 2005
calendars.

Now this is not meant to be disrepectful to our Kiwi friends, I really
enjoyed my time there. But it got me thinking of where I could find a
really spectacular lenitcular image suitable for framing. Recently I
was in Bishop, CA and in the compact lobby of the airport, I found the
following image:

and commented to the county worker, "I need to find the guy who took
this photo!". Whereupon the guy said, "I took that photo!". I bought
it from him on the spot for US$60 and am having it framed. The image
does not have any text on it, unlike this thumbnail.

So my point is, does anyone else know of a spectacular wave cloud image
that is available for purchase in a large frame format. The most, MOST
impressive picture I know of is hanging in the lobby of the Omarama, NZ
gliderport lobby. It is a 1m x 1m or so image of the Taireipet wave
cloud in black & white.

Cheers,
