these are intriguing clouds Timothy. Thanks for sharing. I would love to see the time-lapse you mentioned.
Here are some thoughts I have. Supercilium is associated with mountains and the turbulations around the heights. So far so good, but to me these clouds seem to be very low, almost touching ground level following the slopes of the mountain, but not everywhere. As supercilium does, these swirls also look like asperitas. The image with extra contrast shows a lot of their features.
Supercilium, asperitas, which main cloud?…… There is much to puzzle about the cloud ID’s, but you made for certain some amazing images!
Marie, I see Cirrus uncinus indeed. Spissatus is possible, but difficut to be sure of. Very nice skies anyway! Thanks for sharing.

Ah, there are so many beauties above, but #122 and #123 from some time ago are very special Michael. I love the contrast of the bright reds with the darker blue background.
The Last Reds
There are a few very eye catching ones above. A sunset by Michael, Why Wait by Keelin with a misty scenery, a Nice Set of Molars (love it!) and a Spread Sheet by Ruth.
A KH Trail
You posted an ingenious Spread Sheet Ruth.
The dances by Michael continue to amaze and I am curious Keelin, whether you already have an answer from Ian about the names. I remember you started on the Forum with your full name and then changed it.
Yes all shapes and sizes, Ruth
Ah, already a new volume. Ariel closed the former volume with a beautiful corona and a guarding sundog while Michael started with a faint halo in greys. Love it!
Yes and what color has the rain?
Here is another faint sundog together with some trails, of which one is blue.
Shy Sundog
You may be right Shannon, but did you also consider cirrus intortus? I see a lot of similarities with the ones I can find on the gallery.
Yes Marie, these are two very nice spottings. I agree with cirrus and stratocumulus for the first one. The second image shows undulatus in the upper part of the image and that must be altocumulus since cirrus don’t have a variety undulatus.
Ah, Good Night 2023 and Hello 2024, thank you both Keelin and Ruth. And Michael as well for his remarkable reds in #114 and #115.
I look forward to what surprises next year will bring from you all!
Happy New Year
Hello Susan, here are my thoughts.
On your first image with the layer of altocumulus I see a hole. It is a fallstreak hole and the fallstreaks are already fallen lower. The bunch of fallstreaks is the rogue cloud (the white one with the decided twist) you mentioned.
The second image is hard to judge because of the backlight. Maybe some cirrus or wisps of altocumulus. Hard to tell.
I hope you like it.

Thanks Ariel. Great halo display and yes a supralateral is not perfectly round. The 46 degrees halo is more rare, so usually it is a supraletral halo that you can see touching the CZA and that is also a difference between the two. The 46 degrees halo is a bit lower and clearly separated from the CZA in case the halos are visible enough. In you photo thuis is hard to see since the halos are a bit faint. Here is a link with the differences between the two halos: http://A 46 degrees halo or a supralateral halo
