We photographed in White Sands National Monument yesterday and had some interesting clouds. My favorite image was taken in the morning and shows the cracked dunes and a nice diagonal cloud. The area has received a lot of rain lately, so the dunes were quite damp, and I imagine that as they're drying out, the surface is cracking like in the image above.
