It seems I have a lot of cloud photos 🤔 7. Curiosities Lenticular clouds, Scud clouds, Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds, Roll cloud #BlueSkyArtShow #clouds #AlphabetChallenge #WeekDForDramatic #photography #cloudscape #scud #rollcloud #KelvinHelmholtz #lenticular #gift #EastCoastKin
A shot of the receding cloud, now heading towards Brisbane city to the north. Most amazingly, there were two consecutive clouds with the same momentary wind. #photography #cloudscape #RollCloud #Stunday #gift #EastCoastKin /end
The cloud became more solid, and came closer. At this point, there was no wind, locally, it was quite calm. Not for long... #photography #cloudscape #sunrise #RollCLoud #Stunday #gift #EastCoastKin /3
By this stage it was obvious this wasn't an ordinary cloud at all. It was moving fast, it was a long, linear cylinder, and the sky was otherwise fairly cloudless. Here's another stitched panorama, slightly distorted. #photography #cloudscape #RollCloud #panorama #Stunday #gift #EastCoastKin /4
Here's a single shot, showing true perspective. At this stage the wind suddenly started to pick up, from nowhere, and as the cloud passed low overhead it was very windy, trees tossing and leaves blowing, quite sudden. #photography #cloudscape #RollCloud #Stunday #gift #EastCoastKin /5
Roll-cloud (Arcus) over Brisbane 12/11 A thread... Photographing sunrise, I was intrigued by a band of distant cloud, then amazed as it formed a cylinder that swept towards me at some speed. Then it happened again! #Stunday #photography #cloudscape #RollCloud #panorama #gift #EastCoastKin /1

APOD: 2023 August 20 – A Roll Cloud Over Wisconsin

A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.

600 km long #rollcloud (official cloud atlas name: #volutus) over the western Mediterranean. It is caused by a southwards moving pressure wave, which itself is formed by a shallow cold air outbreak, canalized and accelerated through the Rhone and Aude valleys (#Mistral/#Cers).
