amazing detail on those fibers/roots-like clouds

Of course a large image of a cloud that is igniting itself would be hosted by a "cloud flare" CDN.

Imagine if each panel in the image was hyperlinked to smaller zoomable files that seamlessly floated in and out as you zoom around. All of it mirrored and replicated in backups and hoovered up in NSA profiles for perpetuity. Almost as breathtaking...

Extreme streaming.

Thanks,it is an amazing image. I was thinking I'd love to order a print of it, looks like it should be possible to get one made from the high res image.

There are links to the print-sized image at the bottom.

At 300 dpi, these would be around 40x40 inches. I do see a lot of artifacts in the large images, but it probably looks decent on a print.
