Cumuli
A beautiful cloudy sky above the Netherlands.
This type of clouds are called Cumulus congestus. Cumulus congestus clouds are characteristic in unstable areas of the atmosphere which are undergoing convection. They are often characterized by sharp outlines and great vertical development. Because they are produced by strong updrafts, they are typically taller than they are wide. Yesterday the weather was really unstable: sun and rain with heavy winds were alternating. A perfect moment for Cumulus congestus!
Below the clouds the windmill Bonrepas in the community of Vlist, really close to my hometown Schoonhoven, is visible.
