I love clouds! They tell us so much.
Will it rain? Is there wind coming?
Are they good weather clouds?
Is there a storm building in the distance?

Today, our soon to be 80 years old neighbor Gwen from the pirate boat, a few boats apart from us said: "Don't cast a cloud till May is well out". With her half Irish/Scottish accent it sounded like a fairy tale, although it was only one sentence 😁... Show more

I love clouds! They tell us so much. <br />Will it rain? Is there wind coming? <br />Are they good weather clouds? <br />Is there a storm building in the distance? <br /><br />Today, our soon to be 80 years old neighbor Gwen from the pirate boat, a few boats apart from us said: "Don't cast a cloud till May is well out". With her half Irish/Scottish accent it sounded like a fairy tale, although it was only one sentence 😁. <br /><br />Anyhow, picture 1, I took this a few days ago, this cloud attracted my attention and I stared at it for a long time. It is quite different from all the others because the top is very high in the sky; the stratosphere and the lowest part is kilometers away. A very vertically long cloud, I would say... amazing... <br /><br />For the other cloud porn addicts the wikipedia description: <br /> <br />Picture 1: A cumulonimbus incus (Latin incus, "anvil") also known as an anvil cloud is a cumulonimbus cloud that has reached the level of stratospheric stability and has formed the characteristic flat, anvil-top shape. It signifies the thunderstorm in its mature stage, succeeding the cumulonimbus calvus stage.<br />Photographer me ;-) <br /><br />Picture 2: Cumulonimbus calvus is a moderately tall cumulonimbus cloud that is capable of precipitation but has not yet reached the tropopause. <br />Photographer Matthew T Rader<br />.<br />#reading #clouds #cloudporn #cumulonimbus #mackerelsky #halo #ice #rain #wind #gusts #sun #weather #meteorology #shapes #high #atmosphere #troposphere #statosphere #nature #isobars #gusts #cold #warm #sailing #reading #clouded #sailinstagram #sailboat #liveaboards #mutineers #pirates I love clouds!
