This makes for a glorious “screen saver”. This is my screensaver, par excellence! And, what a nice change to have it in monochrome.
Thanks again, Paul.

2nd attempt!
Hi Paul,
I love this very much! This type of photo appeals to me greatly as it is so akin to my style of landscape and cloudscape photography, that is, when I was able to do photography.
There are just bags and bags of really lovely clouds here. What a spectacle! And the clouds are my topmost favourite . You have done good justice to them.
Thanks for this – another of your hallmarks! 5*’s from me, of course!
Laurence
