Description

In October 1994 my eldest brother and I had the opportunity to visit Switzerland. This week started with a thin cloud-cover when we left the Netherlands. You can see a stripe of cloudless sky; normally I have no idea how big these cloud-streets (line of clouds) are, so I decided to watch these clouds. It took about 200 km (125 miles) driving before we reached that stroke of clear sky! The clouds were almost stationary and I was deep impressed by the size of these cloud-streets. And that was only the first one! Tomorrow I hope to show you how Switzerland was in that week of October!

Dear, I'm not quite sure (but I may be wrong) that we can talk about cloud-streets in this case. I think this term is more used to mention "cumulus" streets which normally appear in spring or summer. These clouds look like "stratus". Anyway, the shot is good!

I'd sure love to walk those streets of gold!!!! What a magnificent sight! I don't recall ever seeing clouds-streets before, and it's made my imagination start to get busy (can u believe?) now i'm wonderin' if maybe Heaven will look like earth? perhaps in Heaven we shall WALK on cloud streets and stare up into the ground where there are flowers growing and hanging upside down??? :) u never know!!! Gorgeous capture!!
