About this image

I wouldn't have recognised this cloud, if it were not for the images by Nick and Adam. Thanks, a realy nice display from Oxfordshire, in the passenger seat of our VW camper. (My wife was driving). The high cloud is illuminated and seen through the lower levels which appear dark.

First time i have seen this, or identified it as such.
