Skywatch Friday - Old Buttermilk Sky
Altostratus (mid-level) clouds. We call this a buttermilk sky, or in England, a clabbered sky. Old Buttermilk Sky is also an old song by the great Hoagy Carmichael, but of course you knew that. If not, give it a listen HERE.
I much prefer "buttermilk" to "clabbered" sky - I hadn't heard of "clabbered" but I used to dance to Hoagy Carmichael's song - when people danced properly and not just jigged about :-)
I didn't know this was called a buttermilk sky... but now that you say it, Bill... of course! Super capture. I'll have to go listen to that tune when my internet access is a little faster.
I am partial to viewing beautiful clouds, excellent picture.
