The summer monsoons bring great cloud watching to Northern New Mexico. This scene is a view looking north from White Rock Overlook at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. The grey cloud-like formation hanging down to the left of Black Mesa is actually rain falling and evaporating before it hits the ground, which is called virga. Photo by TK Thompson/ladailypost.com
