"A Perfect Day"
Assateague Island National Seashore near Little Tom's Cove

I posted this for Summer Daze, but its #sky deserves its own moment, too.

A tan sandy beach stretches across the bottom edge of the image. It is dotted with people walking or on blankets under brightly colored beach umbrellas. The rest of the image consists of glowing white "towering" cumulus clouds (cumulus congestus) stretching upward from the horizon into the bright blue sky.

27 de noviembre de 2020. Una tuba o nube embudo (funnel cloud) se descolgó de la base de un gran cumulus congestus y se pudo observar desde #Cádiz.
En nuestra costa solemos ver tubas y mangas marinas con relativa frecuencia, sobre todo en otoño e invierno.
Nube embudo o tuba (no llegó a tocar la superficie marina y, por lo tanto, no se clasificó como tromba o manga marina) sobre la bahía de Cádiz. Aspecto de la gran nube cumuliforme situada entre Cádiz y Rota durante la tarde del 27 de noviembre de 2020. De su base comienza a descolgarse la tuba (justo sobre la cabeza del pescador ubicado más a la izquierda).

Watching a cumulus congestus transforming into a cumulonimbus endlessly fascinating. As soon as the upper regions reach the tropopause (the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere) they start to spread out, forming an incus, the well known anvil shape of a storm cloud.

Rode my bike for 12.8 miles, got super sweaty, saw a cumulus congestus tower develop and meander north, sat under a bridge, and watched a train go by with about 120 cars.

Not bad for a Thursday morning

This goes mainly off the appearance that cumulonimbus are wispy through some portion of the top of the cloud, implying the presence of ice crystals. But interestingly says that congestus can also produce precipitation. Cloud classification is a tricky one. I've heard both definitions.

A foreboding sky over Dow's Lake in #Ottawa today. This #cumulus congestus #clouds, which later turned into a few good thunderstorms.

Cumulus congestus, the first sign of developing thunderstorms, blossoming in southern Oregon as the cap begins to break. Widespread strong to severe thunderstorms expected to push south to north across Oregon this afternoon and eventually into Washington this evening. #ORwx #WAwx

The Bewdley Bypass bridge under construction in 1986. My dad is standing in front of the crane.
A colour photo of a two-span bridge being constructed across a river in England. It is summer and the image is framed by trees in leaf. The central pier of the bridge is made of concrete and supports a deck made of steel beams painted yellow. There is some scaffolding on the bridge deck and over the side.

A colour photograph of the bright yellow driving cab of a large civil engineering crane. This rests on top of a back of reddish earth or sand and is jacked up for stability on very large hydraulic legs. It is angled to the right. Behind the cab, there are piles of large, yellow weights to counterbalance the main boom of the crane which extends out of the picture on the left. The crane cabin is where the boom attaches to the base. Standing in front of this on the pile of earth, is a man in grey slacks and a white polo shirt. He has black hair and a beard. He is dwarfed by the crane, being roughly the same height as the wheels of the vehicle.

Video of Very Fast Moving Elongated UAP
Date: 16 May 2019Time: 3:21pm PSTLocation: Los Angeles, Ca - Barnsdall ParkOccasionally I’ll set up a camera on a tripod and film cumulus congestus or cumulonimbus cloud formations to possibly use in abstract video art. Sometimes during this process, I’ll capture a UAP.On this particular occasion I captured two UAPs. This is one of the two, where an elongated black object moves eastward at a very rapid pace. I didn’t see it while filming, and only noticed it while viewing the video weeks later. by jrtv5

Love this photo from NASA of a cumulus congestus cloud over the Arabian Peninsula. Very different from our normal view of #clouds.
Row of small cumulus clouds over the Arabian desert, one of which has grown into a tall tower. Shadows of the clouds can all be seen on the ground.
