Odd cloud formation occurring with surface winds of 30 to 50 mph. No contrails were visible. I suspect this is a variant of cirrus vertebratus.

Barefoot Beach Preserve, Naples, FL

Another quick shot taken yesterday. Somehow too busy to shoot at the moment. Enjoy the last bits of autumn sky, winter is coming (YES!).

Sorry for the bad quality, it was uploaded with a jpeg quality of 60% only, so you may realize the ugly artefacts in the upper left corner.

After the rain clouds over the bridge at Fort Point. It looks a drawing work to me :) What do you think?

Taken during the morning of June 9th with Nikon P950 (temperature 43F with winds NW 30G40 mph). After receiving 0.90" over night with min temperature of 37F and wind chill of 23F (yes it is still early June), these altostratus translucidus undulatus duplicatus and stratocumulus stratiformis opacus, lenticularis appeared.

I think I got these cloud types ID correctly?

Tech Note: The image consists of a single photographic exposure of a cloud formation processed to create the illusion of additional topological elements, i.e., a region of rugged, flat-topped mountains. (There is no superposition of elements from other exposures. It's all clouds.)

FROntal PAssage at 4PM saw the temperature drop 19 degrees over the next hour as winds shifted from west to north. This cloudless front (from the north) developed this interesting cloud pattern once it moved through and interacted with a strong southwesterly flow aloft.

Taken 19 Dec. Winds within the overcast clouds (left) were associated with winds 40mph gusts to 55 mph.

A thunderstorm was approaching from the lower left as these clouds seem to respond to the upper level turbulence caused by it.

Taken late afternoon on 29 August.

North Sea coast, Belgium

A bit of dramtic snowstorm passing over the windfarm near where I live.

Pretty mid-day sky.

I thought this cloudscape interesting from the stand point of the cirrus streaking over the break in cloud cover. Taken 6/21.

Normally, when these clouds form just after sunrise, they are altocumulus. Well this morning they are the higher variety (cirrocumulus).

Cloudscape

The photo captures a dramatic sky filled with fluffy, white clouds against a vibrant blue background. The clouds are the dominant feature, taking up most of the frame and creating a sense of depth and movement. The lighting is bright and diffused, highlighting the texture and shape of the clouds. The overall impression is one of natural beauty and tranquility.

This week's photo has quite a humorous tale. While capturing a picturesque scene of seagulls soaring in the sky, with a child feeding them chips, I thought it couldn't get any better with the beautiful clouds as the backdrop. As I clicked the shutter, there came an unexpected twist – a bird's unfortunate gift landed right on my face. The odds of a bird pooping on you is about one in five million chance apparently! So despite the mishap, I decided to keep the photo, embracing the saying "luck is on my side."

...on a coastal cloudscape.

Came back this afternoon to discover a wonderful view during low tide at this quiet spot – thankful.

Sunset our house 06-23 (51)

Over the next three hours, more than an inch of rain will occur at my house.
