A much more quiet and gentle day here at Kintaline
The clouds look like you could snuggle up and fall asleep amongst them

Nice billows (*not* pillows), Jill. You wouldn't want to snuggle against
them if you were up there

Vertical shear with stronger winds above the billows. They're similar to
wave clouds except the whole sheebang moves along.

Jack Harrison if advects in will be able to give you a better explanation!

You wouldn't want to fly in them although glider pilots use them but
usually not at this height (:

I've got stacks of billow clouds in my photo gallery.
