A grand display of cirrus, along with a quote provided by Anthony, referencing Mark Twain from "Roughing It" (1872), which is as follows: “The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn’t it be? It is the same the angels breathe.” This view was seen from Old Yeavering in Northumberland National Park, near Wooler, England.
