This is a picture of a stratocumulus cloud taken at sunset on September 29, 2025. According to atmospheric data displayed on the Skew-T diagram, this formed during a relatively stable atmosphere.

Hey Brian! Nice clouds – we have the same ones just differnt view points haha. We both decided to include the mountains for context and I really like the landscape/panorama vibe yours gives off because every cloud that night was super cool. I would like to hear more about what you did for post processing.
I said that the atmostphere was unstable because CAPE > 0 so I also would like to hear your reasoning. Additonally, we disagreed with strato vs auto cloud type but I think it could be inbetween/transitional. Nice!
