[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On december 9th last year I made a walk at the Carnisse Grienden. It was a nice day, not to cold and the sun was shining and there was beautiful clouded sky. And this is how my camera captured it.

Here are some facts about clouds from the internet:

Clouds are formed from billions of minute water droplets and tiny ice crystals that float together in the air. In general, clouds that are lower than 6000 feet above the ground (low-level clouds) are predominantly composed of water droplets. However in cold weather, they can also contain small snow and ice crystals. Clouds between 6000 and 20,000 feet (mid-level clouds) are composed of water droplets during the summer months but have a high concentration of ice crystals during winter.
Clouds above 20,000 feet (high-level clouds) are largely composed of ice crystals. Each of the droplets in a cloud are about one hundred times smaller than a raindrop. In addition to carrying water and ice crystals, many clouds also contain small quantities of solid particles such as smoke and dust. All of the water in clouds has originally come from the surface of the earth, where it evaporated into the sky after being heated by the sun.

Clouds form when moist warm air collides with colder air, condensing the moisture and gathering the droplets together.

Record-breaking Cloud Facts:
The cumulonimbus cloud is the biggest of them all, reaching up to 6 miles in height and holding half a million tons of water.
The single cloud can be anything from a few metres long, to over 10 miles long.
A single large-scale convection and produce a cluster of clouds, that can stretch for hundreds of miles

More Facts about Clouds:
While many clouds of white, if they become densely populated with lots of water droplets and ice crystals, the light from the sun cannot easily penetrate through them, and so the appear to be grey in colour.
