pretty clouds

    Less than an hour later, these unstable clouds dissolved into a downpour...

    Looks like a lacing of Cirrus clouds in the middle, but 'above' that I think we're seeing Cumulus - or possibly Altocumulus? - with virga hanging from the bottom of them, which makes me wonder if that's what we're seeing in the middle too. I think that's a Stratocumulus at the bottom, but again I couldn't swear it's not an Altocumulus.

    I've used this as an illustration for my review of The Cloudspotter's Guide in my blog.

      They have a back-combed with loose ends look to them.
