Highland Anecdotes, Acumulus, New England, New South Wales, Australia

It’s quite a sight to see thick fog vaporising into thin air as the warming rays of the sun steam the valley of clouds.

Clearview @New England, New South Wales, Australia

Calm and peaceful, the sun climbs higher into the clear blue sky. It’s yet another stunning morning in the valley of sunrise.

But, something is missing. Some natural component that adds character.

Spectacular @Valla Beach, Mid-North Coast, New South Wales, Australia

We all have lain in the grass or on the beach to watch fluffy cloud formations pass by and right on top, right recognised certain shapes and characters like dragons, bunnies or human faces.

Cloud covered @New England, New South Wales, Australia

There are different varieties of clouds surrounding this planet, and their creation is as fascinating as it is intriguing. Clouds roam in different stratospheres and move in different directions.

Opposition @New England, New South Wales, Australia

Although windy from the northeast at ground level, cumulus clouds high above shift into the opposite direction. The high-pressure system always moves towards the low-pressure system. The faster it moves, the more radical are the consequences.

Calm day @Valla Beach, Mid-North Coast, New South Wales, Australia

This is more so obvious in the highlands, not only on this high plateau. Hot outback air bounces off the elevating mountain range and is driven into colder altitude air.

Cloud movements are barely visible to the naked eye but look incredibly moving on a time-lapse video.

Double vision @New England, New South Wales, Australia

Imagine you could double the effect on an oversized mirror. Lakes and dams do just that on calm days.

Almost that time off day @New England, New South Wales, Australia

Reflections away from the sun’s direction are more colour saturated in early mornings or evenings. It’s called the golden hour for a reason.
