A big walk from Runswick Bay finds us on the cliff-tops looking inland (west) and one of those great skies that only come now and again. I could see the clouds starting to shape and move to this mackerel sky condition that was to herald bad weather to come but not on this walk. The sheep were quite unconcerned.

“A cirrocumulus mackerel sky is made up of wispier, patchier higher clouds. There are no thick lines and the clouds appear translucent. These clouds can run before a front and the accompanying bad weather. Cirrocumulus is often found with wispy cirrus, sometimes known as 'mares' tails' sky’ condition.” - Wiki

A terrific endless sky Herb! The landscape also seems to go on and on! The sheep, as usual, are taking no notice at all ;-)) A beautiful shot showing nature at its best. Cheers, Rosa.

There are often cirrocumulus, but this sky is extraordinary!
It looks like a stunning and harmless tornado
The sheep are calm because rain is synonymous the delicious meadows
Splendid landscape very well shown, Herb
I like always your notes, too

Such a vast landscape and sky. The cloud formations are amazing as is the light. You've captured the whole scene in superb depth and detail Herb and the sheep make good foreground interest. Just stunning!
