Friday's sky

At about noon the sky overhead was mostly cirrostratus and cirrus, with a few wisps of cumulus scudding by, but a bank of cumulus was building up to the south-west, and heading easterly.

The panorama is made from several photos stitched together with Autostitch. Click on the image to see a large version.

By two-ish, the sky was mostly stratocumulus.

Mackerel Monday

An altocumulus day. The stripy, billowy bits are known as a "mackerel sky", due to the resemblance to fish scales.

Layers

The highest (top left) is altocumulus. In the middle, the diagonal edge of a sheet of stratocumulus. Below that, a wisp of scudding cumulus. The cables just happened to get in the way, but made an interesting pattern.

Wild and windy

Lots of cloud activity this morning. Mostly cumulus here.
