Bruce, a very good idea from you to capture this meteorological phenomenon. Like everyone, I've seen a lot of different cloud formation, but this one is a very special and rare one to me, Buddy.
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

If there had been more of a wind up there, these stratocumulus might easily have arranged themselves into lines, called "cloud streets", also formed by the same method by cumulus clouds.
Cloud photos are some of my favorites because, more often than not, they add such character to an otherwise blah capture.
Stunning, love the patterns and the overall positive sensation one feels in viewing this. Bravo. Have had family here from the states for about a month, so am now getting back to viewing more often!
