Weekly Walk #5

For this walk, I took a picture of the sky. I took this picture because I noticed that the clouds formed a pattern and the clouds were only this “shape” in a specific part of the sky. This was super interesting to me and as soon as I got home I looked up what this might mean because some people have studied the ways clouds form and what it can mean. What I found really interesting about this shape that the clouds created is like they are super compact and close together, yet there is so much more space they can escape to, like they’re trapped or bound within two invisible lines in the sky. When I researched the possible meanings of these clouds, one of them described these clouds to beĀ cirrocumulus clouds, the article wrote that these clouds carry ice crystals and the water droplets that do fall from these clouds are at a very chilled state. And once theseĀ cirrocumulus clouds are spread out evenly on the sky, it means that rain will occur during 8-10 hours. I found this information so fascinating. It’s funny because there will be a snowstorm that is going to happen tomorrow, so it’s either a big coincidence or real facts. It’s so mind blowing that we can tell so much just from the ways that clouds appear on the sky. I’m inspired to keep looking around for small things that I may not notice, and they could mean so many different things.
