#2365 "Sunset Flurry Roll Over"

Cold northwesterly winds behind a May cold front was rolling this decaying piece of cumulus cloud merrily along. Time lapse photography would have been a wonderful asset to better understand these motions. Wisps of snow were falling through the turbulent winds. Some gravity waves were even created in the turbulent environment of the planetary boundary layer of the atmosphere. A few higher level chunks of altocumulus still caught the white light of the setting sun. The lower level rays from the sun set the tumbling and crystalline cumulus on fire. The name of this painting sounds like a tasty dessert to end the day. And so it was!

The choppy wave action in the east basin of Singleton reflected the sky colours chaotically. The loons were on the floating nesting platform but were easily riding out the waves.
