Wave clouds.
Here are a collection of photographs taken by me at home. They show wave clouds.
Wave clouds are brilliant for glider pilots. Rarely at a low altitude (below two to three thousand feet) but nonetheless a soaring ambition when they appear within range. Here’s the AI description:
Cloud waves, or Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds, are rare, transient formations that resemble breaking ocean waves in the sky. They occur when a faster layer of air moves over a slower, denser layer, creating shear that curls the top of the cloud. Often appearing as a series of curls, they are considered a sign of high atmospheric instability and turbulence.

Again I wish we could insert photographs into our comments, Paul. We saw and I photographed some of the coolest mammatus clouds while living in New Mexico. Like a bunch of cotton balls. Nature is amazing!

Bela, it is the only thing I miss from the past, and that is gliding. It taught one sensitivity in the controls, how to recognise a small uplift on either wing, soaring to a few thousand feet, and so much more. But it is a single persons enjoyment. Some might disagree.

I wouldn’t disagree. There’s a guy who does it here, and people paraglide plenty. Looks like fun to me! Never done it though. 😉

Bela, go for a ride with an instructor! Pick a lovely sunny day.

It’s kind of dicey here on the island. Wind can gust pretty intensely. So if the tradewinds are up, it can be as I say dicey. If the tradewinds stop, then you’ve got no wind at all! 😛 of course I’m no pilot. But I would be hesitant. The best kind of flying I do here is to take one of the smaller 9 seater island prop planes from Kona to one of the other islands. It’s great, you can see the whales swimming around in the ocean from the sky, and the pilots are always super friendly as in what do you want to see today? Once it was the waterfalls and cliffs on the north side of Molokai. Fun stuff.

Bela,
I understand and my previous was based on me forgetting where you live! Duh!
