Even though Mossley is only 4 miles north-east of Ashton, the geography is very different, with the town being enclosed by the steep-sided Tame Valley with the surrounding hills rising to over 1000 feet. Therefore, when you get low clouds, they tend to bump into the hills! On the ground this is experienced as fog or mist.
This photo shows one such low cloud making its may along the valley with the higher ground of Noonsun Hill and around Pots and Pans rising above.
See Google Street View of this location (without the low cloud).

Nice to see also the blue sky.
ReplyDeleteI love the amazing cloud patterns you captured.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, thickly patterned low cloud! Love how it seems to wrap over the hillside!
ReplyDeleteThose clouds really are LOW...I bet you can't see your hand in front of your face up there!
