Post your best wall cloud photos from 2008. I was going to add these to the Mesocyclone thread, but they didn't quite fit:

Northwest of Araphoe, NE, on May 29. Too bad my camera is only taking really bad pictures. Hopefully, I'll have something better next year. :)

That's just beautiful. Reminds me of the 1964 Wichita Falls wall cloud. Looks like you were off the ground--what's the story? Hill or a boom truck :)

Not too insane, but we grabbed this wall cloud south of Emporia looking west at a tornado warned cell that was near Cottonwood Falls(?). It had some of the most intense scud rising motion that I ever seen, not to mention the wicked rotation. It eventually dropped a brief tornado that was just a pathetic dust whirl, but it was easily the coolest wall cloud of the year.

The Bison, KS (May 25th) meso/wall cloud was one of the best I've seen all year, but I think the forum has been fairly saturated with pictures of that one...

Here are a few other of my top wall cloud pics:

Thank you very much for the comment. Actually, I have to thank Jay McCoy for spotting a big hill with a dirt road. We drove on top of it, and as you can see, we could see for miles.

I am real limited on severe stuff this year....

Two more wallclouds that made my list from 2008.

This is from 6-12-08. It was in IL near the Iowa border. This area was tornado warned. I followed a nice Indian brother and sister pair that was chasing this storm too. The brother was from Chicago and the sister was from India. Had I gone straight instead of turning right (like my gut instinct was telling me to do), I would have caught a nice tornado. Sigh.

Here is a little gem I caught coming back from chasing the storm above. It is near Andover IL.
