A purported photograph showing a spiral cloud formation surrounding a tower has been circulating online for several years. The above-displayed image is frequently posted along with the claim that it shows a natural cloud formation that was spotted in the Himalayas in October 2009: This image, however, does not show a natural occurrence. It was created in 2010 by Deviant Artist Spawned and was originally posted with the title The Ruins. Spawned, whose real name is Damien Harrison, shared some information about how the image was created on the CG Society forum: While the image was created with a computer, the caption frequently associated with it does describe an actual photograph, which was taken by Oleg Bartunov in the Himalayas in October 2009: It's possible that when these two images — one showing real iridescent clouds in the Himalayan mountains, the other an artist's rending of a weather machine — were circulating in 2010, the caption to Bartunov's real photograph was accidentally shared along with Harrison's computer generated image.
