Sky Watch Friday - Stormy Skies

It has been a very wet and windy week here, with some spectacular dark rain clouds  mixed with patches of beautiful blue revealing high Cirrocumulus.  All the photo's here were taken from the road running through our village within the space of no more than 10 minutes.  Click on photo's to enlarge.

 An eye in the sky

 Clouds rolling in from the South

 Looking to the South-West

 Looking a little threatening

 but beautiful to the North

 the Sun makes an attempt to break through

 but it is getting darker by the minute

Rain drops are falling on my head,

time to scarper!

Sky Watch Friday

More beautiful clouds, mainly of the Cirrus varieties, they paint some gorgeous patterns across our skies.  Though the first photo is one my husband took about four years ago, of an oval ring cloud, I don't know if it was the remains of a 'fall streak' or 'hole punch' cloud.

Fallstreak Hole...Maybe?

Sun shining through black rain cloud




And what happened here! - I caught the sun in the lens and WOW ' Cirrus and Cumulus fractus in glorious technicolour.  Weird, but I rather like it.

Skywatch - Cloud Watch

We have seen some beautiful cloudscapes over the past weeks here in Yorkshire, and I'm in danger of wearing my camera out and crashing my computer with all the photographs I am accumulating, oh well, room for one more...!   (Click on photo's to enlarge)
