The skies over the water were full of clouds one afternoon last week as I visited Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge. I was utterly fascinated by the horizontal layers of cloud that seemed to be stacked up, reminding me of a stone wall of stacked stones.
Many of you know that I rarely take landscape photos, but sometimes I feel compelled to do so. To be fair, though, I should probably characterize this image as a “cloudscape,” rather than as a “landscape,” since the land plays only a minor role in it.

No 5G close by?
5G?
Masts? I’ve seen cloud formations close to them creating weird cloud patterns. Not a weird person honest.
Ah, now I understand. I wasn’t sure what you were talking about initially. 🙂
Sorry! In my haste ….
Nice Mike! Definitely a cloudscape!!
Sometimes the clouds demand out attention, Mike. This is beautiful
Psalm 148:4-5 (MSG) Praise him, high heaven, praise him, heavenly rain clouds; Praise, oh let them praise the name of GOD— he spoke the word, and there they were!
Thanks for sharing the verses from the Psalm, Molly. The Psalms have such a great range of emotions.
It looks like “cloud streets” a thermal effect known by gliders.
That’s a cool name. I’ll have to check them out. I suspect that gliders need to know a lot about winds and clouds.
Good cloud shot Mike. It does change the atmosphere !
Cloudscape ~it’s beautiful! ☁️
What a gorgeous cloudscape, Mike! Amazing layers.
Thanks, Ellen.
