This is what we saw during our post-dinner walk last night. The photo doesn't quite do it justice, but perhaps you can see why Steve said the sky reminded him of a Van Gogh painting.
Does anyone know the technical term for these sorts of clouds?

i think the technical term is "gorgeous" :) thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I'm going to guess stratocirrus, though I have no idea on the spelling.
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful. And I think they're cirrus clouds made up of ice crystals instead of water (I knew my physical geography major would come in handy one day :-])
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback, ladies! Caroline, I love the term "strato-cirrus" -- sounds like a Roman gladiator, or something. Heh.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sonia for teaching me how to post a comment! Thanks also for sharing such an amazing shot. I assume those are the tops (crennalated peaks) of houses, could be mountains. Frameable.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Steve. In fact, when I first glanced at the photo, I tried to remember a Van Gogh that had mountains. Beautiful!
