OMG this is fantastic love the way the clouds have radiated out from the buildings you caught this at a perfectly lit moment #1473823

Wow---a superb capture. I never heard that one before. I think we're looking at an altocumulous cloud formation--one typically (I think) seen in an early morning winter sky in these parts (from my observations when driving to work). I always look forward to seeing a sky like this. #10220829
