Beautiful evening clouds

Took this photo last night at about 8pm. Undulatus cloud formations are not rare (this is the cumulus type) but these spanned the whole sky and were illuminated by golden sunlight. Not great for flying (bumpty-bumpty-bumpty) but breathtaking to look at.

Wow! I love clouds and sunrises and sunsets.

Great photo, thanks for sharing flowers

Being out in the sticks, we get a lot of good sunsets, but this one is the best we've seen in 20 years. DH came haring into the shower room, calling me to look-look-look! I followed him to the deck and stood gawping, then ran for my camera. It was a few minutes before I realised I was stark naked! (It's OK, we're only overlooked by one house and they're night birds, so I doubt whether anyone was driven half insane with uncontrollable lust...) grin

The joys of countryside living, naked cloud watching and all! That's a spectacular photo. I can spend hours cloud gazing by day and start gazing by night and never close my bedroom curtains. Thank you for sharing your lovely picture.

We have had some pretty sunsets of late but nothing like your beautiful photo.
Thank you for sharing CarrotTop

What a beautiful sunset CarrotTop. We have seen some lovely ones too in our area. In fact the previous owner of our house refused to have the bathroom window frosted as she loved to lie in the bath and watch the sunset. Your photo reminded me that I have too often taken these beautiful sights for granted and must allow more time to”stand and stare”. ( lying in the bath is not an option!)

I am so glad we live in a country that has different sorts of clouds most days some of thr formations are so beautiful. Thank you for posting that wonderful photograph.

I don’t know about clouds but I find these lines all over the sky this afternoon really weird. My flight radar doesn’t pick up any planes.

That's beautiful

That's lovely, CarrotTop. Well done you, for capturing it.

That’s a great photo of a mackerel sky. We have been having those here for several weeks and they are beautiful.

Yes, beautiful.
I'm lucky that I live in the countryside and face the right way to see many beautiful sunsets, but that one is particularly good.

It's also reassuring that i am not alone in appreciating such things. My OH just doesn't 'get' it.
