ALTO-CUMULUS CLOUDS - VIEWED FROM ABOVE
A great blanket of small cumulus cloud hides the earth's surface for as far as the eye can see. From below, small breaks between the clumps of cumulus would give some sight of the blue sky above. These clouds are quite high in the sky and are called Alto-cumulus clouds.
