I like the clouds picture, Mickey. Nice picture of the fish as well.
Putting the two together makes a good pair. You can see why a mackerel sky is called a mackerel sky.

Thanks PeterW,
The clouds are mine.
The fish is Google's.

I like the clouds, too, Mickey. And Google took a decent picture of the fish, except for the hot spots in the highlights.  |

Silly me! I thought the top photo was mackerel, and the bottom on was Mickey.  I like the idea - and particularly the photo of the sky. |

MIK,
Could it be an airplane's vapour trail?

Mickey, This was my first thought also, but this fragment had been the only "cloud" in a totally clear blue sky. If it had been caused by a plane, I fear this one had an engine failure . MIK |

MIK and Mickey
You guys got me wondering about jet contrails so I looked it up. It appears that you can get a short jet contrail like that when conditions that allow the formation of contrails exist in only that part of the troposphere. That also accounts for intermittent jet contrails. It may also indicate that the jet forming the contrails is cruising at 30,000+ feet altitude. Yea, I know too much time on my hands.

Cool pics here  Here comes my a little bit strange cloud picture. It shows Mt. Fuji, taken from Tokyo ( don't ask, how many mm telephoto ;D ). It has been taken a few seconds after the sun went down exactly in the center of the top, which makes the mountain look like it would burn   Burning Mt. Fuji by bokuwanihongasuki, on Flickr |

Now that is one interesting effect. Any idea what causes that look?

It's the sun, illuminating the clouds around the top of the mountain from its backside. The picture is actually a capture from a movie, I took and it looks even better in motion: Distance to the mountain: app. 250 km |
