Even within one sort (skeletal) of a cloud type (asperatus, a.k.a. asperitas), appearances can differ monumentally from one event to another. Take, for example, this versus only slightly less dense (mode skeletal) coverage of them from a film slide shot a few miles from here at sunrise, 24 years before. The wave amplitude of these is less, but still no less beautiful, especially as a textural and silhouetting muse to the brighter, sunset-lit clouds above and beyond. The interplay of clouds and light in the sky never ceases to give me appreciation and joy, even on seemingly “mundane” weather days like this.
