I'm not arguing that these were a type of 'asperatus'; as my tag, I
would be calling them 'enhanced undulatus', but there was definitely a
'hand of God' look about the rolls and waves that these photographs
don't capture very well. The brightness/contrast have been increased
very slightly to try to pick out the 'rolls' perpendicular (across)
the dominant mid-tropospheric flow at this time.

Did anyone else notice this?
