sun is shooting fire
arrows through slits
in the aerial castle
This amazing sunset spectacle catches me on the way home, so I pull over next to a soybean field to watch the show. A wide altocumulus cloudbank looks like an aerial fortification with turrets topped by jagged crenellations and the sun is shooting fire arrows through slits in the walls. Appropriately, this cloud formation is called castellanus. The rising turrets show that the air is unstable and the clouds may develop into tall, stormy cumulonimbus. Perhaps more rain is on the way, yay!
