Sky with Layered Clouds in Paso Robles, CA

Paso Robles, California

February 2, 2017 12:08am CST

Yesterday after I left a dentist appointment I looked at the sky and decided I had time for a photo walk. I wasn't successful in some shots I wanted of the orchards on the hills, but I did capture this layered sky. When the clouds are layered like this, I call it a lasagna sky. Do you often see skies like this where you live? What sort of cloud formations do you like best, if any?

The cloud patterns here are very variable because we can go from a cloudless sky to a thunderstorm within the space of an hour. I don't recall seeing that pattern but I guess it happens.

We saw it often when we were crossing the country in summer. It often happened in Massachusetts. It also happened when we were staying in Grand Island, Nebraska.

@bagarad I think I need to watch our clouds more closely to see if it happens here too. When I'm driving around I tend to mainly look at trees for bonsai inspiration.

@Gina145 I keep an eye on everything I think it interesting when I'm on a photo walk.

I agree. They are even more fun to photograph, I think.

@magallon It does look rather like an ocean in the sky.

I had completely forgotten the sky and paid much too much attention to sunrise captures. But lately I have been looking at the sky and feel they need attention too. Yours is definitely a setting that is a rare one.

I like the way your trees frame the clouds in this photo.

I'm addicted to taking photos of them. I guess I could have worse addictions.

I must say that it is my first time to see a "lasagna sky". Thanks for the shot.

I often see them -- especially when traveling. I take the photos from the car through the windshield on those days, since my husband is usually at the wheel.

I call those buttermilk clouds, but I got the term from someone else. I like those, too, and have lots of photos of them. This isn't my best for that effect, but I can't find the others right now.

My favourite sky has puffy white clouds. The kind that you can imagine are all sorts of animals or objects. The stacked clouds that are the leading edge of a storm are interesting to watch, but can bring some nasty storms.

I agree those are fun to look at, and also make great sunsets.

We have these types of clouds too from time to time although mostly it's the fluffy, cottonwool cumulus clouds that we see.

I love all types of clouds. Our instagram and facebook pictures are full of them. On our phone they come close to as many in the gallery as our fur babies.

Picture I took the day before we had our snow storm last month.

Storm clouds are a special breed. I just took some photos of the ones outside my window before it starts raining again. I'm not going to try uploading any more photos where until I find out why they aren't loading.
