Climate Changes Petrolhead

Small world, George. I saw HMS Queen Elizabeth depart from her home port of Portsmouth, UK, my home town (though I live across the county now), not realising she was off to pay her respects to you.
I have said everyone needs a vista. But an office vista like yours is something to envy. A fortiori if a vista includes a topographical feature such as a harbour mouth it puts the icing on the cake. And your cracking photo shows you enjoy it, lucky you. I can’t make out if it is sunrise or sunset; if the horizon is water I guess it is sunrise in the east (New Yorkers do tend to start work early).

Late arrival at the Spooks Ball, I thought.

Oh dear, you seldom get the picture you expect from Twitter – the sunrise is a few pictures down, the wider print appeared in The Times, UK, 23OCT2019 with caption:
“Light up A stunning sunrise over Whitley Bay in Northumberland yesterday ushered in an unsettled day”. (Red sky in the morning…).
A PA photographer, we have had several of his pictures on this Forum. He has a good website.

When I heard this on BBC Radio I thought it was a good excuse for a tribute (although Getz died in 1991 and Tributes are normally for those who passed away more recently):

Welcome, Ling – you have an intriguing profile picture, at a quick glance a matador with cape, or perhaps a cowboy, great clouds in front of the sun, but then plumes of smoke on the left?
Checking Wikipedia I read ‘Anhui is an eastern Chinese province known for its Huangshan Mountains. Their low-hanging clouds,…’ So perhaps your clouds are started by the mountains, a slightly different point from George’s ‘sharp cut-off”.
Also your clouds have a hint of undulatus about them – from the ICA in the third permanent topic at the start of this forum

New words for me in this article – matutinal, liminal, dimmet, vespertine

Another historic airplane
Three days after the previous, a single engine seaplane on a similar flightpath, possibly this from 2011:
It’s the London bus syndrome, perhaps the Imperial War Museum Duxford airing its stock.
To clarify, I meant the variety of genus Michael sees. I may have more variety in the UK and more cloud, but it is often within the predominant Cumulus genus.
Keelin, you are never lost for the right words – I always enjoy them – which add to the imagery.
‘H’
Thanks, Michael. I just envy the variety your mountains give you and the skills with which you capture them.
You have a good eye for interesting clouds. I add my welcome to Keelin’s.
Still cogitating your title.
