Aerial views of the clouds in their various layers and types are definitely quite captivating. The dynamic changes in the clouds never cease to be entrancing, especially when they are seen from the air while the plane maintains its forward motion (as in cruise). This cloud-filled shot is definitely a perfect illustration of what it is like to view the clouds from above (as compared to viewing the clouds from the ground).

There is so much diversity in the clouds as shown in the shot that the word 'Spectrum' could not have been more appropriate as a title! Here, you'd see more cumulus clouds (with streaks of stratus clouds in various places) in the lower layers, whereas more stratus appear in the layers from the middle upward.

The cloud-filled spectrum shows a great deal of balance between the majority of cumulus clouds down below and the thin veiled stratus clouds above with the dark, definite layer of stratus across the middle.

There is even a broad spectrum of colors shown in this cloud shot. And there is definitely a great deal of definition to the various cloud types in the entire spectrum. The reflection of the sun brings out the bright-dark outlines in the cumulus clouds, whereas the stratus clouds in various layers show their subtle silhouettes or white smoothness here and there.

I cannot tell you how mesmerized I am every time I get to enjoy the enchanting views of the clouds from the air! This aerial view is just as fascinating as what I've seen in many of my flights!
