Cirrus uncinus

Sometimes the cirrus formation resembles a ski tip, giving the name uncinus. Again at high altitude, just as high as the fibratus cloud.

The ski tip again, this time the whirl is powerful enough to give it a corkscrew look. Same formation later at sunset where at lower altitudes the sunlit cumulus clouds give a nice colour contrast.

Beautiful uncinus ski tip. Above the far horizon som humilis clouds have been formed.
