#fluctus

We report: in a matter of a handful of minutes, the wind took this contrail and did something odd with it. Our expert is frowning loudly by our side, undoubtedly reviewing their understanding of fluid dynamics in their mind. The steam over their cooling tea makes the same shapes.

Great spotting!!!

That wave shape is quite visible, especially towards the right. In my top 10 cloud catches. Now you get to have it too.

We report: we do not always know what we are looking for in the sky. Something new, probably, a revelation, or a secret, a shape only we were good enough, fast enough to see. Sometimes, something familiar, a memory or a story that we have heard before. All of it at the same time.

We report in waning sunshine: a couple of days after the equinox, we experience its lesser-known cousin, the equilux. We thought our expert was making fun of us as they spelled it out. Today, day and night are the same length. We stand here at sunset in a rare moment of balance.
