Holy Mackerel!

While on a walk in Alton baker Park, I was greeted by this dramatic sky. A bit of under exposure helped to made the clouds stand out like they did to my eyes. It was a beautiful sight, a rare cloud formation, to me anyway! I have been informed that this is called a 'mackerel sky' by many.

Stunning! I think natural displays such as this are proof of a Master Creator. They are too great to be an accident.
