At first, I thought it was von Karman vortex street. And then I went to your website and saw the sky and I was like, Ooh!

I need to pay more attention to the sky! :D

great stuff. I also like the wider shot that you have in the blog, it provides a bit more context.

There's a little article on the BBC website today about unusual cloud formations. I hadn't heard of this particular one before reading the article. http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150716-nine-rare-and-beautiful-clouds

Thanks, Rajan.

Well seen and captured, Rajan.
