It's shopped. Believe me. Look at the pixels. I've seen a few shopped pix in my time...

It's enhanced. You can't get that kind of foreground and background resolution and color blast without some extra work. I'm not saying the clouds are fabricated, just that it's had some enhancements.
It's facking awesome, btw.

Re: Seriously, this is NOT a shopped pix.
This is a pic I took one afternoon in August 2010.
Not as high resolution as zillas, and very monochrome so not as colorful either.
I didn't get the best of it as I was walking home at the time and didn't have my camera on me. I hurried back to the house to catch what I could before it was over.
It snaked across the sky and I had to get it in separate shots that don't quite give the effect being there had.

Flickr has groups dedicated to pictures of sky or clouds. A person could shop for wallpaper there.
