Mackerel in the sky

Central Florida had what I considered an interesting display of altocumulus clouds on Saturday, Feb. 12: not wild but neat nonetheless. The weather was fair and kind of cool, but there were lots of variations in the mackerel sky, which indicates moisture in the midlevels of the atmosphere.

IPhone: Several of the following shots were taken with my phone as I took a walk.

IPhone: I was strolling along Parkway Drive in Melbourne while looking upward. It's a wonder I didn't get struck by a motor vehicle.

IPhone: Nearing sunset, the clouds got a little pinkish over this Baptist church.

IPhone: Features like this leave me somewhat dumbfounded because I'm not sure how they form.
