Cumulus Humilis clouds

Cumulus clouds mostly form as a result of localized pockets of warm air rising.
Cumulus humilis is the smallest form of cumulus clouds and results from relatively weak convection (humilis means humble in Latin). This produces clouds that generally have flat bases and small, rounded tops. Technically, a cumulus cloud is considered to be a humilis formation if it is wider than it is tall, as estimated by an observer on the ground. The height of these type of clouds is about 500 tot 1000 meter or 2000 to 3500 feet. It’s unusual that rain falls out of these type of clouds.

Dordrecht : the beautiful entrance to the Church Maria Maior built in 1843.
The St. Maria Maior is Dordrecht’s Old-Catholic church. It is a one-aisled building in neo-Classical style, designed by town-architect G.N. Itz and built in 1842-1843. The church is located at some distance from the public road, a reminder of the period of protestant rule; the current church replaced a hidden church, which was located behind a house. The house was demolished in the 1840’s.
