This work depicts the cloud formation called Morning Glory - a spectacular cloud formation that occurs in the Gulf of Carpentaria region of north-eastern Australia. It is composed of a low roll cloud or a succession of roll clouds, sometimes stretching from horizon to horizon. The clouds are seen early in the morning, most frequently towards the end of the late dry season from early September to about mid-November. They are typically 1 or 2 km in width, 1 km deep, and may be 100 km or more long, with cloud bases often more than 100 - 200m high.
