A newly classified cloud, the breathtaking undulatus asperatus cloud billows and rolls like waves at sea. This is a guide to spotting this cloud and it's characteristics along with some spectacular photos.

Clouds ...

Clouds sometimes take on shapes and forms of all matter of things, some obscure and others quite clear. The images you see in the clouds can foretell what’s to come. They can also give an indication of your current state of mind.

Blue skies can be lovely, but too many sunny days in a row with no clouds in the sky can get monotonous. I find cloudy skies much more interesting. To me the blue skies represent those carefree days when things go as expected and there are no unpleasant surprises. The clouds represent the difficulties and sorrows that enter our lives. So the question is, do those clouds really have silver linings, or is that just a saying that doesn't hold water? (Sorry, I couldn't help it.) I offer my perspective in this brief photo essay.
