This picture was taken in Westminster, Colorado in the afternoon (1:02pm MDT) of November 17, 2020, overhead and slightly south. There was very clear weather. There appear to be high white cirrus uncinus and cirrus fibratus clouds. The original image and the SkewT diagram are shown below. The diagram indicates no instability, with a CAPE value of 0.

Great photo, I enjoy the wisps of the cloud pictured.
Awesome image! Nice colors!
This is such a beautiful and interesting cloud formation! I really like the texture of the clouds and the colors too!
I love how the clouds on the perimeter frame the center circle cloud.
This is a really cool image. The shape of the clouds is really interesting and I’m really interested in what atmospheric conditions created it.
Beautiful image, Jillian! I really like the open space in between the clouds, and the texture/shape of the clouds themselves. The composition almost reminds me of water flowing through sand on the beach. Nice work!
I really like how there is the circular gap in the clouds. It looks a bit like an eye in the sky.
Wow, this is a very cool composition of quite a unique and interesting effect. Nifty!!
It looks like an eye, very cool!
