Here's a quest for better researchers than I. Wunderground.com is mainly a weather and photography site. Users can get weather conditions for chosen locations, updated hourly, and can view and upload photographs. It's great for seeing the world through the eyes of other people.

I came across THIS picture. Read the caption below. See if you can provide any information. I would think somebody here among us could.

If you find anything, you could join wunderground, free, and email the photographer. Comments on photos are usually very well received.
