Vicars' Close is reportedly Europe's oldest residential street, which as Helen conveyed, is famous for its chimneys. She likes to imagine the clouds as smoke coming from them, as seen here over Wells, Somerset, England.

A distrail, short for "dissipation trail", occurs when an aircraft passes through a cloud and it turns the water droplets in the cloud into gas or ice. This distrail is seen slicing its way through a layer of cirrostratus over Kianga, New South Wales, Australia.

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!
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.
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
