When I looked up I saw this interesting feature in the sky where some high Cirrus cloud broke away and showed like wispy tails being dragged down most probably by high winds…they are sometimes referred to as mares tails too.
Looking at the information on the clouds sheets below, I think I may have captured a subtype of Cirrus called either Cirrus Uncinus or perhaps Cirrus Floccus?
You never know what your going to see in the daytime sky so keep looking up and have your camera ready especially if there is cloud about.
To find out more about the clouds please go to this excellent website at (NOAA) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

What’s this cloud?

My images were taken with my Canon Gx7 camera on manual focus, I always have my camera in my handbag for moments like these :-D
