Captured on October 8, 2026, in front of the Sustainability, Energy, and Environment Community Building at CU. These clouds appear to be cumulus mediocris, and the Skew-T diagram shows unstable air.

I love the framing of the trees and mountains in this photo. It really adds to the scale of the clouds and the multitude of color helps the contrast against the white clouds. Also, the clouds are doing really cool things in this photo. Good stuff!
