Altocumulus clouds forming in the afternoon

in Love The Clouds2 years ago

As the area was recovering from freezing rain, the weather changed from being wet and icy to dry and windy. The clouds changed as well and formed some long swaths of condensation with the winds occurring it gave them streaks. I do not know a lot about weather and clouds, but my understanding is they form high enough that the winds affect their shape.

With the sun poking through we can see a tiny bit of the sky but its mostly covered by these large groupings of mid level clouds. It was a bit windy, and had to go back inside to put my jacket on.

Working on my focus, I do not think its perfect yet. I have found trying to get focus on far objects like stars and higher clouds a challenge.

With the temperatures in the 30s during the morning and climbing up to the 50s Fahrenheit it really changed the sky, not as much as on colder days but still quite cool to see.

The winter months give us special clouds, I feel like these are more the kind you see around this time of year.

Depending on the direction you looked the clouds were denser while corners of the sky changed over to some other types. Around that point the sky can really be seen through them.

Hopefully I identified these correctly, if someone knows of a different type that these are please let me know.

Interesting formation of clouds!! i haven't seen those in real life yet!

Oh damn, well hope you do. Since moving to the South I have seen many clouds I have never seen before.

What lovely pictures, I stayed a while looking at them to relax, you certainly did a good job capturing the image of these clouds, I note that the weather was quite cool and perfect for taking pictures.

I don't know much about degrees or Fahrenheit, but I feel it was pretty cool.

thanks bud.. well here in America we measure in F, which are degrees of freedom!

This is an amazing view of the cloud. I didn't know you are also good at photography. Nice job

Thanks very much, I think they are pretty cool too.
