Day 355 of 365

Had some really colorful iridescence photos from today as well, but since I've already shared a few of those in this project, I figured I'd show you this instead: a hole punch cloud. The white cloud in the middle is precipitating from the cloud deck above. This happens when the supercooled water droplets of a cloud layer are disturbed. When droplets are supercooled, they remain liquid, but become solid (frozen) when they are disturbed. This usually happens when a plane descends down through the supercooled layer. :nod: Droplets of the clouds are liquid, plane flies through them, droplets freeze and begin to precipitate like snow.
... if that made any sense :P

Nice! :D Since I've started following you, I've learned a lot about different clouds and how they're formed. So many possibilities! It really makes you think at how many things we, as humans, nowadays go on with our lives without really ENJOYING nature as it is.
