This is taken from a couple of miles from my home.
This was the first time in 9 weeks, for me**, that the sun had set from anything other than a cloudless sky.**I haven’t been in Macclesfield the full time, I spent 2 weeks in north west scotland, so it’s possible there was cloud at home in that time.

Photo Editor says:
Well spotted, the arc is a supralateral section.
-
Hans Stocker says:
The arc hitting the CZA is most probably a part of the supralateral arc, Nienke. The crepesculars are the streaks of the cirrus in which the arc is displayed.
-
Nienke Lantman says:
There is also part of a halo or so, hitting the arc? And what else do I see, something like crepuscular rays?

Anthony Skellern says:
Thankyou Laurence – it was indeed a fair weather indicator, though it seems a long time ago now! Great day to be out enjoying the view. (This is looking North – Manchester on the horizon).
Dave, that description sounds familiar… I am often out on the Middlewood Way.
Though I am usually focused on the ‘weeds’, I shall keep an eye out for you! -
Dave says:
One of my favourite views.
Anthony – do you ever see a bearded man on a bicycle with a black and white collie running along, sometimes accompanied by a youth with a red and white collie? Often on the Middlewood way. Could be me. -
Laurence says:
There’s a very nice clean and fresh feel to the overall picture which makes it most attractive to look at. The clouds are lovely and indicate a good day’s weather to come and enjoy. Like the scenery too.
Laurence

An afternoon sky over Kerridge Hill, Macclesfield, Cheshire, UK.

Dave says:
I was about 3 miles west of where you took this shot on that day – by sunset there was an enormous wall of lenticularis layers reaching up to a very high altitude above the line of the hills, and stretching from somewher over Rossendale forest about 30 miles to the north down to a guessed 20 miles to the south.
Looking on time lapse satellite imagery the next day, you could see how from this front edge, the cloud layer (trailing eastwards from this front edge as the air lifted over the hills) stretched right across in a narrowing wedge which finally dissipated about the middle of the North Sea.

Majestic sky – I love the light in the sky, so serene above the darkening landscape. And the lenticular turns of these clouds!

Actually the location is Llandudno Bay – Penrhyn Bay is beyond the Little Orme. Picture was taken from near where I have an annual early holiday (4 nights for 3).

Carolyn, UK says:
Hi Beate, no I must have been there over 40yrs ago too! What memories your picture has brought back, Anthony, thanks :D
-
Beate Blecher says:
Hi Carolyn, I climbed the Great Orme once, too, more than forty years ago! Was that before you did? – Lovely shot, Anthony!
-
Alex says:
Well caught. Any later and you would have 'mist' it :)
-
Carolyn, UK says:
How lovely to catch the Little Orme so well dressed, Anthony. I climed the Great Orme once, long ago. :)
