The San Francisco skies were spectacular yesterday from start to finish.
Fog Meets Clouds
Alcatraz and Red Sail
“Hole-Punch” Cloud
Sutro Tower and Clouds
Marine Layer
Sunspot
Sutro Color
Wired
Surrounded
Sunset Flight
SF Clouds
Chimneys
Evening Fire
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way

Your skies have in their patterns of clouds a kind of secret language as the spots in jaguars’ skins. Breathtaking views. Thank you, Jane. ^_^

It’s unbelievable that it was ONE day! What a great idea to keep photographing that sky all day, and then post it this way. I love that “Marine Layer” image with the building – and I read about the hole punch cloud – crazy. Wonderful that you were there to record it. Then the fiery sunset. “Wired” Surrounded” and “The Chimneys” are all so eye-catching.

LikeLiked by 1 person
Thank you, Eliza! Since it was all over the local news that night, I learned that Hole-Punch clouds are often formed by a plane flying through the cloud layer. It is also known as a fallstreak cloud with partially frozen crystals that form the wispy cloud in the middle. Fascinating!
