Title: Clouds...
Post by: JohnP on Jul 25, 2011, 12:21:05
Lazing around in garden yesterday 'supping some wine as you do' on a lazy sunny sunday afternoon & noticed some 'funky' looking clouds - also several sundogs appeared & then disappeared... Selection of images below:

Looks like a contrail that has started to break up and stream. Nice pics John.

Yep agree Mike - I think you could be right - there were an awful lot of contrails around yesterday so that would certainly explain the interesting cloud formations.

I noticed some also - it was certainly a good afternoon for sundogs. 
Nice collection of pics John!
