Clouds over Whitmore Bay at Barry Island, with Friar's Point in the distance. The tourists have all left for the night but footprints remain in the sand...
The start of our new weather serie.
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...:
Storm clouds approach.
Very unsettled weather here in the East of England just lately.
The moisture rises from the earth warmed by the recent sunshine.
That is what they looked like to me. The clouds were moving really fast that morning ... this was only a 5 second exposure.
scattata da un bellissimo balcone tra cima mares e monte soglio, sopra cuorgné. piccolo Pianoro che si affaccia sulla valle di ribordone da una parte e sulla piana dall'altra.
From my walk yesterday along the fields. Also, the versatility of a short telephoto macro lens to double up while out.
Taken from the top of Ham Hill, the hill was in bright sunshine, while the whole valley below was enshrouded in mist.
Every so often the sky surprises me and it's my job to compliment it with a foreground. These are some of the Elephant Rocks of North Otago seen on my way home from the snows of the Mackenzie Country.
Thanks for looking me up!

This huge cloud had caught my eye on our trek to Reiek peak in Mizoram.
Reiek is a tourist spot some 29 kms from Aizawl,the capital of Mizoram.The peak has an altitude of around 5000 feet and commands magnificent views over the surrounding mountains and valleys and also of distant Aizawl.
ein schönes Wolkenband über den Färöer
Hier seht ihr in der Ferne die Felsen Risin og Kellingin.
Sie sind zwei Felssäulen direkt vor der Nordküste der Insel Eysturoy auf den Färöern in der Nähe der Stadt Eiði .
Der Name Risin og Kellingin bedeutet „Der Riese und die Hexe “ und bezieht sich auf eine alte Legende über ihre Ursprünge. Der Riese (Risin) ist der 71 m hohe Felspfeiler weiter von der Küste entfernt, und die Hexe ( Kellingin ) ist der 68 m hohe, spitze Felspfeiler näher am Land.
Cloud Gate is a public sculpture by Indian-born British artist Sir Anish Kapoor. Constructed between 2004 and 2006, the sculpture is nicknamed The Bean because of its shape, a name Kapoor initially disliked, but later grew fond of. Made up of 168 stainless steel plates welded together, its highly polished exterior has no visible seams. It measures 33 by 66 by 42 feet (10 by 20 by 13 m), and weighs 110 short tons (100 tonnes or 98 long tons).
I was bowled over by this magnificent sculpture; there will be more photos, rest assured. This is a five photo stitch taken at the end of the sculpture.
