#2500 "Cold Frontal Deformation Zone Sunset"

The cold front had passed through Singleton. The rain storm recorded in #2499 "March Lamb Showers" was history. 

The winds had veered to the northwest and the heavy rain showers had ended. The knife edge of the hang-back altostratus deformation zone was still on the northwestern horizon. The definite banding in the undersides of that cloud deck where the result of gravity, shock waves caused by the strong westerly winds aloft that were evicting the storm out of eastern Ontario. 

SCUD cloud was being whipped up by the brisk northwesterlies. These shreds of stratus rolling with the tumbling vortices of moisture, were what really caught my eye. Even in what might appear as a turbulent chaos, there is order. Note the wavelength regularity of the stratus if you link similar cloud elements together. 

I try to enjoy every sunset. There is a new one every day. They are all free if we only spend the time.  

I use a second palette to keep my oils bright and clean when I work with colours like yellow.
