A roll cloud, or volutus, which is a rare, low horizontal tube-shaped arcus cloud, detached from the parent storm cloud, and represents the leading edge of a thunderstorm's gust front. This example was spotted between Vinylhaven Island and the Rockland area of the Mid-Coast, near Penobscot Bay, Maine, US.

Well said, Rebecca! Fully agree.
Laurence.
The dramatic, distant mountains of Southern Bavaria in the early morning light all appear as a monochrome blue colour, are all bunched together and appear to float above the low stratus clouds. Looks like it is going to be a really nice, clear day. Can just make out on the distant horizon, a few snow-capped mountains as well.
Nice picture.
