Great choreography and light-play Keelin! The contrast works great.
Over here today again an aperitas event. Quite rare! I read in the article about the origin of asperitas (see home page), that gravity waves are supposed to be the cause – on their turn generated by large convective activity elsewhere. Well I think that suits the case over here.
Next one I captured today and I like it for its composition and elegance of the lines.
Thank you for sharing these fantastic pinkbows Laurence!
When you want to know why these bows are pink or red check this link:

I love wild skies and Wild Skies in articular. They deserve the Clapping of Many Hands, Keelin. Great short story in two pictures.
Yesterday morning over here was a morning in between wildness and serenity. Lots of movements and a rare asperitas event….. that almost nobody noticed….. but gave great sculpting in the sky. Michael once wrote : asperitas love black and white. It might be even vice versa.
Thank you….. and great composition Keelin. Love it. Intriguing soft rolls emerging from the left, Waiting in Line and trying to hide at the right, going to ……. anywhere? Beautiful.

I am a big fan of your Fan of Fins Keelin. Subtle structures.
Here is another one of the series of cirrocumulus lennies.
Sheltered Bay
These names are indeed confusing Corinne. Their appearances are not. Stratocumulus is a low level (main type) cloud and has large clumps covering large parts of the sky. Altocumulus is a mid level (main type) cloud so there is a larger distance from which you can see them. That is the reason why they seem to be a lot smaller. Their appearances are mostly cloudlets but also sometimes lenses or rolls. The addition stratiformis to altocumulus is the name of one of the many species of stratocumulus used when the cloudlets extend over a large area in rows.
Do you know about the cloudspotter app? I can recommand it, for it has a library of all kind of clouds and optical phenomena with clear descriptions and above all beautiful pictures of examples.
Happy cloudspotting!
