I could not get this one out of my mind, MikeL. Then on Jazz Record Requests today it hit me – Miles Runs The Voodoo Down:
MikeL, ‘or what’ sounds a bit abrupt – my apologies if it came across as such (it was late). I was just curious at the coincidence.
Forum protocol does not require you to reply.
‘H’
More fun versus CAS cloud of the day or what?
Marsha, Gavin did not mention the oval
You achieved your aim of abstract delight with this one MikeL. I nearly missed it. Or will someone claim there is a face at the bottom left; who knows?
I heard the name Ellie Nino on radio recently. I wonder if the parents were weather watchers. There is a Ninon in my local directory.
Fair thoughts, MikeL. The Handbook says pannus loiter in saturated atmosphere just below rain clouds; you had no precipitation, but if it was humid pannus would be a good bet.
A great shot, anyway, and rather unusual I would think.
P.S. Wiki says:
Stratocumulus Lacunosus clouds are very uncommon. They only occur when there are localized downdrafts striking through the stratocumuliform cloudWhoa, what have you got there, MikeL?
My first thought was that it is a lacunosus variety (Cloud Collector’s Handbook pp36/37). So at that height it would have to be Stratocumulus, but it does not have much of the Sc about it, almost an arcus.
Any thoughts, anyone?
P.S. Lacunosus seems difficult to find in the literature.
Mike mentioned his new GoPro camera in the Above The Clouds thread. It seems the BBC used them in what it claims is a world first in TV:
Moonset
Seeing the moonset yesterday, and as I write today, it strikes me I rarely get to see moonset.
And I don’t recall ever seeing a moonset picture with clouds….
Peter Maxwell Davis
Composer, including Orkney Wedding Sunrise:

P.P.S. All these tributes are from the musical world, so far…
RE: George Martin
N.B. I think we may have a bug in the system since the link back to the CAS Gallery does not seem to work – it would have shown that Lucy does work in the sky. The full text follows (I inserted [Mills]):
‘This rare capture of a Vortex was taken at 16,000 feet above Wellington, New Zealand, from the cockpit of the Auckland Life Flight Air Ambulance, where Lucy [Mills] works as a Flight Nurse. In very unstable air, these vortices can be drawn up by a Cumulonimbus updraft and produce tornadoes.’
