Fingers of Light
Nova Scotia skies often delight and sometimes astonish me, like this one did. The valley landscape with the low, understated mountains in the distance are the perfect foil to this drama. Have a lovely week ahead, friends. You can view the post here:

What is this cloud formation(s), please?

Thanks @Rasta . A search didn't bring him up, only the bird bot.

@EllieK @yhzweatherguy I'm going out of my skill set and going to guess before Jim tells us?

I'll take CLOUDS for $200, Jim! 😂
What is (Jeopardy) Cirrostratus? 😎​

yhzweatherguy,
@yhzweatherguy@mstdn.ca avatar

@Rasta @EllieK Cirrostratus a good guess... but given all the structure in the cloud (great pic), I would say cirrocumulus.
just googled and found an image that not a dramatic but some similarities

@yhzweatherguy @EllieK Thanks Jim, you and Cindy Day are the only two I know that live in the clouds LOL my subject matter experts. I didn't even know you were out of the country and thought you just getting up for a 3am pee , like I was LOL ,glad you post here, or we'd have missed you.

@Rasta @EllieK posting on twitter, mastodon, BlueSky and Instagram. So I'm slow at responding. Still not feeling good about twitter (X)... but lots of weather weenies

Rasta,
@Rasta@mstdn.ca avatar

@yhzweatherguy @EllieK Yes, I can imagine. I've also been invited to BSky but would not have gone, until I saw half the X Twitter escapees, now I have to keep it too, but with a powerful desktop PC, I have 4-5 conversations going on all the time across multi-platforms except twitter, I left my account there locked, so some name squatter didn't adopt it and impersonate. But I won't read it or help generate revenue for that Muskrat, but I had solid friends that I miss.

@yhzweatherguy
Thanks Jim. It was certainly unusual.
You win that round (or is it Rasta?)

@EllieK @yhzweatherguy Jim's the SME (Subject Matter Expert) I am but an amateur who has only looked up at the sky since I went outside after retiring. My neighbour, who sadly is losing his wife to cancer, I was offering consolation and I mentioned my interests since retiring. Much different from the life in the Navy. I wondered why I didn't know about mushrooms before? I lived in the dark, in the bowels of a ship, That's fertile surroundings for mushrooms. Must have been the lack of trees 😂​

Where are you in Germany? What region? We know the Black Forest area - Baden Baden, Buhl Baden, Karlsruhe - and we've been to Munich, years ago.

We aren't going anywhere for a while as we have to be so careful.
But if we do I will.

werawelt,
@werawelt@social.tchncs.de avatar

@EllieK You where there sometimes? I am in North-Germany between the North-Sea and the East-Sea: the Land between the Seas 🙂 I love it very much.

EllieK,
@EllieK@mstdn.ca avatar

@werawelt
We've never been to that region at all. We used to go to the Black Forest for treatment from a Heilpratique person there. (2005- about 2012).
We lived in France for 8 years after leaving England. Until 1997. Before coming here.

werawelt,
@werawelt@social.tchncs.de avatar

@EllieK
France I like too. In England I was never. In Canada I had have familiy, but they are dead some time ago.
I think, it must be interesting to live in some countries und cultures like you did.

EllieK,
@EllieK@mstdn.ca avatar

@werawelt
I was born in Canada and lived there until I was 18. Then England, Finland, England, France and finally back to Canada. Interesting

@EllieK I don't know how to describe those skies, but they mesmerize me. Has the snow started there yet? We're covered and wet and heavy already

EllieK,
@EllieK@mstdn.ca avatar

@Rasta
No, not started yet. I smell it in the air, though. You know?

EllieK,
@EllieK@mstdn.ca avatar

@Rasta
I was going to menton the Halifax weather guy to see what this effect is called, but I can't remember his ID. Do you know?

EllieK, (edited )
@EllieK@mstdn.ca avatar

@Rasta
I guess he's left. He is only an X bot now.

I something similar today.

Not anywhere near, but similar beauty south of , on the drive home. Pretty neat! I was left in awe most of the drive home! ‘Twas a nice change. Thanks for sharing the experience.♾️❤️

@EVDHmn
It's great when you see these and can capture just a hint of the splendour with your camera. Thanks Derek. Did you post yours?

EVDHmn,
@EVDHmn@ecoevo.social avatar

@EllieK
Ahh, I was driving on a curvy road, but I remembered thinking wow, that seems pretty epic, wasn’t near that as far as beautiful, but the sun came through so powerful, it seemed to almost shine through and disperse the clouds :by demand lol it was around, 4pm est maybe 3:50

EllieK,

@EVDHmn
Sometimes, all you can do (if you don't have a driver and can't stop) is to try to burn the scene into your memory. I have some of those, too.
