Ship of Clouds

A mid-day cloud image for today's sky picture. This wad of fluffy-looking vapour put me in mind of a stately ship of the heavens, drifting sedately through the beautifully clear blue sky. The triple peaks at the top of the cloud make convincing sails, and a hint of prow and stern at the ends complete the impression.

Unusually, the subject of this cloud photo sailed alone amongst a background of far less substantial clouds, rather than being part of a larger fleet, which is probably what caught my attention in the first place.
