A strange cloud

Bristol and the environs were almost fully covered by a thick blanket of cloud all day. A large anti-cyclone was reluctant to move much, so trapping a lot of cold air and fog. From the high point on Dundry, the fog lay below and made islands of some parts. Note the yellowish band of atmosphere above the grey cloud, where some pollution hangs heavy. Further to the north, something is clearly causing a stir. The massive white cloud bursting above the layers might almost be mistaken for a more atomic version.
