Thanks, Anne & Anthony: I agree, I quite like the impression of wind-blown speed in the cirrus, contrasted with the apparent solidity and steadfastness of the cumulus below.
Spectacular cloud vista, Mark. One could almost imagine it being a landscape on earth, with a streaming snowy blizzard scouring the mountains of antarctica.
Wonderful image!
Thanks, Becky. It was a lovely flight, in fact; before rising above the clouds as in this picture, there were a whole series of beautiful layers, alternately sunlit and dark. I may send more of the pictures to CAS, but you can see a few in my flickr photostream, starting at:

Beautiful!! Like a veil across growing things!
