Altocumulus Floccus Solis Occasum

A nice sunset over the fields of Seeley's Bay.

The scientific names for clouds are in Latin, so I ran with that for the title and added the Latin words for sunset.

Here's the breakdown...

Altocumulus - From the Latin altum, which means height, upper air, and cumulus which means an accumulation, a heap, a pile.

Floccus - tuft of wool, fluff, nap of cloth

Solis - sun

Occasum - setting, going down; death
