Having seen many interesting clouds lately I thought i would start a thread to post the photos in,starting with some from Norfolk but will add Derbyshire ones as I see them.

I have bought a chart to try and identify them but not very good at it yet.

Evening sky just before sunset.

Lovely shot of the late evening sky over the water.
I like the bats in the next to last one - I get a stealth bomber vibe from the last one :girlygiggle:

:thankyou: Julie,Tabatha,Bill,Paul and Gill thank you for the link to the books,i bought one of the FSC charts which got me interested but it is much more difficult to identify them than I thought,i think I might stick to just looking for ones with shapes of things in them :girlygiggle:
