Bonita foto. Muitas vezes as nuvens nos Açores adoptam a forma do terreno que se encontra por baixo delas

This cloud is absolutely not strange. It is a natural formation of clouds as they are created on top of the cliffs. I'd bet the wind was coming from the sea ! I encountered the same in Irland. The wind coming from the sea is full of humidity because of sea evaporation. But when it arrives on the cliffs, it has no whoice but climbing up. Doing so, it cools down ... and drops create ! It's a cloud. It will travel inland, and there is no way people over there have some sun on this day.... as it will continuously create as long as there is wind !

And by the way, you can see that the shape of the clouds fits perfectly the shape of the coast.

It's good to see I have a famous brother-in-law. Saw the picture on Google Earth, looks great. I think I'll have to come back for a visit soon.
