Clouds. Always an interesting subject to study and photograph.
Cirrocumulus Cloud are often referred to as 'Herringbone' or 'Mackeral' clouds and occur at an altitude from 16,000 to 39,000. They are short lived and transitionary originally formed from Thunderstorm clouds 'Cumulonimbus anvil'.
NB. I had to look all this up as you may have guessed.
I can hear you yawning from here Trevor.{:))
No yawns Roy, except for sleepy ones! I'm always up for a spot of cloud watching.
ReplyDeleteI also have to read up on them to try and understand what I've been looking at, maybe it's easier to just admire the beauty of it all?
Cracking image to end with.....you're in the right place for big skies!...[;o)
Thanks Trevor, I thought I would help you out with your Sunday afternoon nap.!

DeleteAnd those clouds with flat bottoms, like the ones in your header photo, are known to meteorologists as "Simpson clouds". The technical explanation for the term is that similar clouds are often seen in The Simpsons. Honest!
ReplyDeleteThanks John.
DeleteI will bow to your superior knowledge on such matters.{:))
