I don't know if this is a known cloud formation or not, i do know that i've not seen anything like it before. It almost looks like a strand of DNA....

Shot high on Dartmoor..

After a google search it would appear these clouds are called;

Cirrus Kelvin-Helmholtz
Appearing as a slender, horizontal spiral of cloud, cirrus Kelvin-Helmholtz is one of the most distinctive cloud formations. However, it tends to dissipate only a minute or two after forming and, as a result, is rarely observed.

Amazing clouds. Alex suggests cropping, but what would be left without the dark bottom? Alex is a riot, isn't he? Not every picture has to be as smooth and harmonic as are his.

riot?...some may call it that...i have other words....i may resubmit this it was submitted a long time ago and i think it deserves another airing....

~alban-expressed Aug 3, 2010

I am curious to see what you will do with it. I meant riot in a good sense, but never mind.

*sassaputzin Aug 4, 2010

i meant just resubmit it with an up to date edit, i have a lot of watcher that will not have seen it....and i know what you meant about alex...hes a good guy....i just like to pull his leg...

~alban-expressed Aug 4, 2010
