They are, sometimes, it's just a very rare phenomena - another story on it.

They're not CGI but they look very HDRI.

Example of HDRI:

In the first pic, the clouds look like CGI from the early 90's!!

The last photo in the group looks like it could easily be somewhere in the British isles.

Yeah, the caption “Skies over Scotland: This scene from Perthshire could help confirm the new 'Asperatus' classification” might have a clue in it. ;)

:oops: Didn't see that.

*Edit* And I still can't. For me the caption says "Asperatus comes from the Latin verb aspero, meaning "to roughen up" or "agitate". It was used by the poet Virgil to describe the surface of a choppy sea."

Look at the very last image, and the strap line underneath it in bold.

The second one looks like Guinness when you pour it...I should imagine that's how it will look seconds before we are drowned in Guinness...
