SkyWatch - Wind and Eye Candy


Just a few interesting visible wind phenomena,

a contrail twisted by an upper atmosphere wind stream


oops, this is a bit of a ring-in, I saw some crows flying overhead,
did a fast reaction body twist and snap . . . gotcha!


A layer of cloud sweeping in,


can you see the associated wind turbulence that is whipping up 
the clouds into a frothing surf?

When the wind does that at ground level where you cannot 
see it, it can toss and topple a plane on landing,
not pleasant for anyone. Airports at some locations are closed
and all traffic diverted under such conditions.


Enough of the lesson in meteorology, here is some gentle 
eye candy, just some cumulo-nimbus at sunset.


Don't you just love watching the sky?

I do.
