This image was taken while walking on a bridge on August 31st, 2020 in Denver, CO. I believe these are stratocumulus clouds because you can tell this is a thin layer of clouds and it almost seems like a blanket which makes me think it is flat. Another reason I believe they are stratocumulus is because of the CAPE value on the skew-t diagram; the value is 3.1 which is super close to zero which means the atmosphere is pretty stable.

I really like how the clouds fill up the whole sky. It makes me think there was a huge storm happening at the time this image was taken.
I love the dark clouds with the little bits of light coming through. This is definitely a really cool photo!
