This might be upside down


This might be upside down, I mean this was almost straight up and when you point your phone's camera straight up and it tries to determinate which direction is up.


As I was walking my dog the other day I spotted wave clouds in the southern sky. These are clouds that form of atmospheric internal waves.



I should start to carry my DSLR more often. This was so dark and murky that my phone's camera didn't capture it in a "right way".




Cirrus clouds typically appear delicate and wispy with white strands. Cirrus are usually formed when warm, dry air rises, causing water vapor deposition onto rocky or metallic dust particles at high altitudes.


I just love the sunset and the clouds in the country side. No man made structures to ruin the silhouette.

Spearheads in the sky

As I was driving home from work I noticed these spearheads in the sky.


These are Cirrus (cloud classification symbol: Ci) clouds which are a genus of high cloud made of ice crystals. These appear typically as delicate and wispy with white strands. Cirrus are usually formed when warm, dry air rises, causing water vapor deposition onto rocky or metallic dust particles at high altitudes. Globally, they form anywhere between 4,000 and 20,000 meters (13,000 and 66,000 feet) above sea level, with the higher elevations usually in the tropics and the lower elevations in more polar regions.
