Altocumulus that looked to Marianne as if she was looking into the ocean instead of the sky, with the way whales and sharks have lots of small fish around them, cleaning them by eating away parasites. This was the view of the sky near Ronda, Andalusia, Spain.

Cirrus homogenitus as a result of aircraft condensation trails, also known as contrails, in the upper atmosphere. When these types of clouds persist and evolve towards a more natural appearance, its cloud classification changes from homogenitus to homomutatus. This example was spotted over Abergavenny, Wales.

A rare sighting of what appears to be a twinned rainbow. This is when twin rainbows, one primary and one secondary, start at the same point, yet they follow slightly different paths so they end up looking something like a rainbow-colored "V". This is caused by different sizes and shapes of water drops falling from the sky at the same time. This optical phenomena was spotted near Den Hoorn, Texel, Netherlands.

Excellent Image and indeed thanks for the information Photo Editor very intersting
Thank you so much Ian (Photo Editor) for providing this intriguing piece of information. I was wondering a lot about Tom Bean’s photo and the petroglyphs recorded in his photo. Yes, I know I am straying well of the cloud theme but this record of these inscriptions, forgive me, took my fancy big time.
