Looking back ... pulled this one out of the archives from three and a half years ago. Still like it. The original title was "nuages." That is one French word I definitely like. It has just the right sound for high, delicate clouds. The English word is fine for puffy cumulus and dark stormy clouds, but "nuages" seems to fit better for wispy white strands like these. Typically, when cirrus clouds are prominent, so too are jet contrails. And there were some in this sky too, but fortunately they didn't intrude here.
Photograph taken at 15:41pm on September 2nd 2012 on the sandy beach at Sandscale Haws, a National Nature Reserve on the Duddon Estuary, Cumbria, England. It is managed by the National Trust. The reserve's sand dunes support a population of Natterjack Toads, a species which is nationally rare in Britain.
This view looks across the water towards Haverigg and Millom.
