Undulatus upon which Kit included the following sentiment: Oh, striated sentinels of the upper air, You gather in ranks like a silent parade, You do not hurry — the earth will turn for you; You simply drift, and the world tilts its head to watch. This example of undulatus was spotted over Oahu, Hawaii, US.

Mystery solved. Thanks. I have a fascination with Light Houses across our globe so this photo takes on an added meaning. Cheers!
Laurence
Yes, a lighthouse :)
Apologies Vera for the incorrect information about the area, I have amended accordingly…IanL..Photo Gallery Editor….
PS I believe it is a lighthouse Laurence……
Thank you, Vera. I am grateful for your informative caption accompanying your lovely photo which is appreciated.
I am always interested in monuments and commemorative stones / plinths so I wish to know what the plinth in the RHS of your photo commemorates.
Mystery to me – could you say more, please?
My thanks in advance.
Laurence
It’s just not the Black sea, which is in the South, but the Moscow sea which is in the North (about 1500 km from the Black one), and actually it’s the artificial Moscow sea formed by the man-aimed flooding of the great Volga river :)
