That's an amazing sight, "Bob". I'd heard about the Australian roll
clouds - quite magnificent.

BTW, I think the charter for this newsgroup insists that you use your
*real* pseudonym. ;-)

I'll have to ask mom if I can change it...

A slightly similar but utterly unrelated cloud image I took on a

That might be the stratus clouds that line up in rows. Can't think of
the proper cloud nomenclature for that, though.


I'm thinking stratocumulus undulatus.

That looks like it, Bob. I was thinking of radiatus, but undulatus is a
better fit.
