10.00pm last night, taking Tyson for his late night walk saw these overhead, usually linked to thunderstorms, but these were just ordinary Cumulus.

Almost like flipping a switch, the typical almost featureless altostratus of winter have mostly disappeared and puffs of cumulus are appearing more and more often.
Cumulus Clouds
Fair weather cumulus clouds are the type of clouds we want to see when we’re planning to go on a picnic or go fishing…. and the kind we might get tired of if we’re in a drought!
Fair weather cumulus clouds are a really beautiful sight. They’re the types of clouds that I like to find shapes in.
Fair weather cumulus clouds are the kind of cloud that imaginative people can find all kinds of familiar shapes in.
Fair weather cumulus clouds also tell you that, at least for the moment, it’s safe to enjoy the outdoors without immediate fear of rain, lightning, or damaging winds.
I also like fair weather cumulus clouds because they can be very photogenic.

I loved how the sky changed in a matter of minutes from dull grey to this orange with the rainbow slowly appearing at the bottom.

Shot with a 590nm converted camera when the sun began to illuminate certain areas in the clouds. These types of pictures change rapidly based on the position of the sunlight and how it hits the scene. It's fun to experiment and to achieve different looks just by waiting for the light to change.

This was taken at 36,000ft heading west over Austria during some extremely powerful storms. We diverted our course to the south (left) to stay clear of them as the tops of the thunderstorms went up beyond 40,000ft. In the foreground is a towering cumulus, the precursor to a cumulonimbus, one of which can be seen in the background with the flat top.

I had to change over lenses so freaking fast to get this one, reminded me of training the Army, changing over a magazine on an SA80 or removing a jam thanks to the cold weather. However this cloud at the tip took on the pareidolia, in my opinion, of a Basilisk, so hence the name.
On another note: Today America is saying to each other Happy Thanksgiving, tomorrow they'll be beating the shit out of each other for a wide screen TV! Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to my American followers.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)

We did wonder whether these were the forerunner to a thunder storm, but we managed to walk the few miles back home in the lovely sunshine. Seems the storm that did eventually arrive missed us and hit Manchester about 20 miles away instead. The photo is taken from the Soyland area looking out across towards Lumb and Cottonstones, the village church is just off to the right of the picture.
