"Ring" cirrus cloud

I've taken to paying special attention to the clouds directly above. Doing so, there are many cirrus clouds that have this "Ring" feature to them. It is only noticed from below. Cirrus clouds that are distant all look flat and relatively featureless.

This cloud was fresh. The edges and features were well defined. As I watched it for a few minutes, the cloud dissipated and it's features smoothed out.

Some scientists are saying that cirrus clouds are created by blocks of ice/snow as big as four bedroom houses and these are what has filled up our oceans. Seeing a structure like this in a cirrus cloud, it isn't hard to imagine a block of ice entering the atmosphere, becoming heated, and explode, with the smaller and lower parts being blown off by the wind. You can observe for yourself.

A "Burst" Cloud

This cloud was much crisper and more defined just two minutes before I took this picture. I noticed it high above me when I was driving to work and had to drive a couple minutes before I found a spot to pull over.

How did this cloud form? Recently, I noticed that high clouds seem to appear suddenly.

Gum Drop Clouds

Somtimes nature shows us a special treat in the sky.

How Much Carbon Dioxide in This Burn?

How many miles in a hybred vehicle would you have to drive to save the Earth the amount of carbon dioxide that's involved with this woods fire?


We all have to pull our own weight in this. Individuals, business, and government.

The clouds look live waves in the ocean in this view. How they came to have this shape is a puzzle.
