Little Fluffy Clouds


A time lapse of a nice summers day using my action camera. The low level (cumulus) clouds boil up and are travelling west to east (the prevailing wind in these parts) and the high level (cirrus) clouds go the other way. The occasional white streaks are contrails from airliners going to or coming from North America. (watch on YouTube for HD)
