Peculiar clouds as snow melts away

Wooden pier extending into a calm sea beside a snow-covered beach at sunrise, with gentle waves, pale golden light on the horizon, and soft pastel tones in the winter sky.Wide view of rolling countryside at sunset, with dark green fields in the foreground and layered clouds glowing orange and gold along the distant horizon beneath a clear blue sky.Snow-covered path with footprints leading into the distance, bordered by leafless trees, with two dogs standing on the snowy track under a pale blue and pink dusk sky.Snowy residential street at night with icy, slushy road surfaces and visible tyre tracks, parked cars along the curb, and streetlights reflecting off the wet ice under an overcast sky.Two smooth, lens-shaped lenticular clouds floating in a blue sky above suburban brick houses with pitched roofs, chimneys, and parked cars visible below.
