The clouds have, unusually, been moving west (& south) these last two days. I have been watching more of the way they coalesce & mate – may as well get something out of the lack of sunshine.
There were some quite large patches of blue yesterday, with a stiff breeze at ground level, though the clouds were not moving very fast.
One smallish cloud, stranded in the middle of a large bowl of pale blue, was being pulled in two directions – towards the much bigger masses of cloud in front & behind. At one point it took on the shape of a lobster with its claws held up by the side of its head; the process of being pulled apart accelerated as a piece broke off from the cloud behind and endeavoured to reach its mate, but both just slowly evaporated from view.
Is this attraction caused by what one would call gravity, or something other?
