Cloud vortices over the Cape Verde islands
January 5, 2005 - Low-level winds rushing over the Cape Verde Islands off the coast of northwestern Africa created cloud vortex streets. The vortex streets tend to create patterns of swirls and curves in a roughly symmetrical pattern, though as can be seen here, the lower vortex street is much more disorganized, to the point that the typical features are almost unrecognizeable. Cloud vortices are also known as von Karman vortices

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing phenomenon of cloud vortices over the Cape Verde islands. Taken on January 5,2005, it captures the breathtaking display of low-level winds rushing over this archipelago off the coast of northwestern Africa. The result is a stunning visual spectacle of cloud vortex streets that form intricate patterns of swirls and curves in a symmetrical fashion. However, upon closer inspection, one can observe that the lower vortex street in this image appears much more disorganized compared to its counterpart above. In fact, its features are almost unrecognizable due to their chaotic nature. These atmospheric phenomena are commonly referred to as von Karman vortices or cloud vortices. The true colors captured in this horizontal photograph enhance our appreciation for these natural wonders. With no human presence in sight, we can fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and complexity of these swirling clouds against the backdrop of an island landscape. This image offers us a glimpse into fluid dynamics and geophysics at play - showcasing concepts such as eddies, turbulence, whirlwinds, convection currents, and swirling motions within our atmosphere. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected Earth's systems truly are. Stocktrek Images has masterfully captured this awe-inspiring moment from space through satellite view photography. This remarkable print invites us to marvel at nature's artistic expression while contemplating the forces that shape our world.
