This week’s photo challenge asks us to share a surprise on The Road Taken. Imagine my surprise when we saw ocean waves in the Mohave Desert on Hwy 395.
Well, OK, not real waves, but clouds that look like waves. Have you ever seen anything like this before?
We visited some windsurfer friends who live in Helendale, California on Silver Lakes. Perhaps the clouds were taunting our late Fall adventure in the desert with a future forecast of the waves to come when windsurfing season starts in April!

Oh, thanks, Jodie! We were lucky to see this. It only lasted 30 seconds before the “waves” crashed 😁

That is amazing! We had some odd cloud formations around here recently, but nothing like that! Lucky capture (especially since you said that they just lasted a little while) – right place, right time, camera at the ready!
