From what is visible in this mysterious photograph, it appears to be a unique Stratocumulus formation that produced a type of linear convergence across the sky over Upstate New York, US. Without a 360 view, it is not entirely clear as to what may have 'precipitated' it.

What more can I possibly add? What a great picture. Thanks!
Thank you Ginnie, Laurence and Adolfo.

I like the top/down symetry of this picture, as reflected in a distorting mirror. B&W give the picture am atemporal atmosphere.
Hi Paul,
I fully support Ginnie’s valued and well observed comments – well said at that.
That you posted a black/white (monochromatic) photo onto the photo gallery is always a refreshing pleasure, to say the least.
Photos in monochrome sure take some beating! That said, we see things in colour. Somehow monochrome endows a special quality and genre of its own…and no less when it comes to cloud and landscape images.
The serried softness of cloud vista is simply marvellous – and contrasts beautifully with the dry, unforgiving ruggedness of the landscape.
Stunning in every way imaginably. Composition – top hole, top notch. You spoil us with your marvellous photos! 10/10 for sure, from me!
As ever, kind thanks for sharing this beauty with us!
Laurence
Love the composition of this photo, Paul, and thank you for maintaining the appreciation of black and white photography — practically a lost art these days.
