Incredible "Hand of God" photographed over Portugal

Not much more to say here folks - check out these amazing images captured in the skies over Portugal - the colours of the cloud mixed with the dark grey background coupled with the localised nature and shape of the cloud make these photos truly awe-inspiring...

An incredible cloud formation which appeared over the skies of Portugal has been dubbed the 'hand of God'.
The cloud took the form of a fist from Heaven with a hand holding a fireball as it dominated the skyline across the island of Madeira on Monday.
And weather blogger Rogerio Pacheco, 32, could not believe his luck when he looked up at the clouds while commuters made their way to work in the morning rush hour.
The awe-inspiring snaps have since been shared online after Mr Pacheco opted to post them on his blog.
Amazed onlookers have compared the bright orange cloud to everything from a flaming fist of fury to the iconic comet featured in the classic video game Final Fantasy VII.
Mr Pachero said: 'As soon as I saw the sky, I was immediately intrigued and I just had to grab my camera to take photo.'

"God the bowler?"

Hand of God? I thought it looked more like "Eye of Slug"

Yep I totally agree, that's definitely a wanker hand sign. Hey maybe this is how life is seeded throughout the universe?!

Obviously, this is a projection of a guy's hand holding a hotdog on a miles-wide screen... cloud formation at sunset? Rrrrriiiiiiiiiiiigggghhhhhht.

* do I really have to note that I'm stupidly kidding around? Sadly, probably...

Not sure how a flaming hand can be Gods, i think it belong to someone else

God sure has hairy hands.

Starrunner, you should have this as the background in you avatar.

I am a Christian myself and don't wish to offend but all I see are cloud formations and a sunset!

Looks like he is fisting something.

I don't think I can say what that looks like to me without violating the T&C.

It is a beautiful photo, though.

Peace.

Looks like God is about to smack a bitch down.

Ahhh the Portuguese....seeing God in everything.

*Relax...I'm Half Portuguese..I can say it*

Guys stop taking it so literal just cause they named it hand of God doest mean they literally think it's a god's hand.

Unless I'm completely missing some of the sarcasm here.

In one of the pictures in the video you can actually see the face of a bearded man at the top of the hand, where the wrist should be.
