The setting sun acted like a spotlight to display the beauty of a portion of the cotton-like cumulus cloud.
A not so common clear blue sky in Greenland, blue ice and blue water with a cumulus type iceberg remnant make for a postcard vista.
I would like to thank all, that you have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated.

The low in the sky huge puffy cotton candy like cumulus clouds are apparently considered to be the most beautiful of fall clouds.
Some nice clouds building, with some of the low pressures over the past few weeks we've had some nice cloud formations.
Nicht immer ist klar, ob es sich tatsächlich um eine Cumulus-Wolke handelt. Wenn Cumuli horizontnah und zahlreich auftauchen, sehen sie manchmal wie Stratocumulus- oder Altocumulus-Wolken aus. Diese Wolkengattungen haben jedoch stets flache Oberseiten, während die Gipfel von Cumulus-Wolken zu Kuppeln oder Türmchen auswachsen. Erst wenn einzelne Cumuli zusammenwachsen und die Oberseiten der Wolken gleichzeitig zusammenschrumpfen und abflachen, bezeichnet man sie je nach Größe und Höhenlage als Stratocumulus- oder Altocumulus-Wolken.

Cumulus: A dense, white, fluffy, flat-based cloud with a multiple rounded top and a well-defined outline, usually formed by the ascent of thermally unstable air masses.
Beautiful cumulus clouds build during the early afternoon in Taos, New Mexico.
Happy Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all. I'm still catching up!

Cumulus Humilis clouds
Cumulus clouds mostly form as a result of localized pockets of warm air rising.
Cumulus humilis is the smallest form of cumulus clouds and results from relatively weak convection (humilis means humble in Latin). This produces clouds that generally have flat bases and small, rounded tops. Technically, a cumulus cloud is considered to be a humilis formation if it is wider than it is tall, as estimated by an observer on the ground. The height of these type of clouds is about 500 tot 1000 meter or 2000 to 3500 feet. It's unusual that rain falls out of these type of clouds.
Attention friends, we've got ourselves another one who'se taking our pictures, with a link to 500px, but not mentioning where it came from: www.flickr.com/photos/michaelhaupt/14632815455/in/photoli...:
