Happy Sunday :) My skies are blue today no clouds ... thank you for the lovely picture the word 'mackerel sky' - i never heard it before. In Germany we call this kind of clouds 'Schäfchenwolken' literally: lamb clouds :)
Vielen Dank, Mo - ich kenne die Wörter Schaf und Wolke; aber wenn es kommt zu verschiedenen Arten von Wolken... Nicht eben sicher was sie auf Schwedisch heissen! ;)

DeleteQuite dramatic effect, our skies in this pattern the other day were inkier colour - I'd never heard of a 'mackarel sky'. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteA bit more research tells me they're also called cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds. Thanks for visiting!
