Once again, I took this picture with my cell phone while returning on my bike from a long ride in Japan many years ago. I thought it was cool, named it The Hands of God, and sent it to about 10 to 15 people on email. I had no idea that it would go viral although I should have guessed. The actual scene was much more impressive than what I could capture with my cellphone. There are two reasons there aren't many shots of this. First, Japanese aren't likely to look at clouds with God in mind as Buddhists. But the more important reason is that the area is on the West side of Japan, which is windy with many storms that time of year, so the formation was only there a short time. It was just a lucky shot. I have never used photoshop and don't own a camera except for the cell phone.
