I certainly go fully along with Adolfo’s comment about seeing this unusual cloud formation at ground level. Normally, one sees these clouds far higher. Highly unusual
Brill capture, Pat. Well done!
Laurence
Superb picture, Pat. I always imagined K_H clouds far above but not so close to the surface. Accustomed to looking up to see the clouds I will have to start looking to the front to detect these .. :-)
