I think it must be forbidden to enter this thread without having checked Sunsets And Sunrises Volume I. It ended with a Rothko, a Pollock and some serious Grinding.
Suggestions for a severe but righteous punishment of trespassers are welcome.

The millstone slows and finally comes to rest. The sky is on fire and the Earth is silent once more….

Sadly enough the millstone slows and finally comes to rest. The sky is on fire in England and Arizona as well. In between the cool blues of Night To Day with a diminishing moon.
Great variation again!

January 18, 2018 at 6:28 pm #254522Patricia L KeelinParticipant
O such wonders! These sunrise/sunset images remind me of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Because the prince lived on such a small planet, he could watch the sunset several times a day simply by walking to a new spot.

Nice association you make Keelin. In some ways the planet is small indeed.

Very nice postings yesterday and, Hans, yours today is wonderfully understated. The water makes some colors stronger.
Trying to catch up. I woke up to very red skies this morning, thought there is no warning for sailors in the forecast.
-
January 20, 2018 at 3:52 am #254734George PreoteasaParticipant
And the sunset was quite rewarding as well.

Wow, George, back-to-back beauties topped of with a zinger of a shot! Whatever else might happen in a day, such wonderful bookends can put it all in perspective.

January 20, 2018 at 11:20 am #254769Hans StockerParticipant
Wow, three great red impressions of three separate phases of the day George. love them.

Nice cloud shadow. And the bird adds a nice touch.

A beautiful capture, Hans! Just saw your reflected light beams (Halos & Rainbows thread) and now this stunning shadow play for balance. Wow!

Michael, that fine striping … I’ve never seen something like that. Very interesting.
-
January 24, 2018 at 2:57 am #255324Michael LerchParticipant
George..Well that makes two of us..Its undulatus at a good distance, thanks to a very good zoom lens, but there are two different sizes of undulations going on. The finer is at a different elevation and doesn’t reflect the rays like the larger ones. I think..that makes the finer ones.. lower. Below is the same group some minutes later, therefore redder and the finer undulations darker. Even at the distance,,i knew the scene wasn’t quite like anything I’d seen before.
-
January 24, 2018 at 11:59 am #255388George PreoteasaParticipant
Your explanation and the second shot. make it clearer that the clouds are two levels. Still, very fine undulatus. Thank you!
-
January 25, 2018 at 11:45 am #255516Hans StockerParticipant
Delicate reds on these intriguing Arizona wrinklings at sunset, Michael.

Yes Hans, the wall of a towering nimbus provided gold backdrop to lower pink/red cumulus at sundown..As you know, timing is everything.
Altocumulus catches the last rays of the day..

Hold It…

Been away for a few days and I see wonderful things. Here’s a sunrise from the Caribbean Sea.
-
February 22, 2018 at 10:47 pm #260168Howard BrownParticipant
Another silver lining to boot. I was trying to snap some somewhat faint crepuscular rays early afternoon recently and the question came to my mind – are crepusculars more common at either end of the day?
Thanks for the opportunity to ask the question, George.
Keelin, as well as your wonderful photos, you have a wonderful way of expressing my thoughts e.g. about this thread. Many thanks.

February 23, 2018 at 12:15 pm #260239Hans StockerParticipant
Nice video George. It develops wonderfully towards the scene with the crepescular rays.
Some Reds

February 24, 2018 at 6:38 pm #260426Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Thank you, George! So fun to watch the dancing of clouds heralding the dawning of day — a lovely visual celebration.
And thank you, Hygge, for your kind compliments. Having joined the forums a little more than a year ago (thanks to the warm and encouraging welcome from Michael and Hans on the first B&W thread), I cannot now imagine a day without seeing the skies from other’s eyes as we’ve been sharing here.
Hans, Some Reds deliver a warmth that is missing in the image below. It’s been sufficiently ch-ch-chilly here to dictate how I dress in the morning.
Winter Layers
-
February 26, 2018 at 2:49 pm #260688Hans StockerParticipant
I love these Winter Layers Keelin. You made it your specialty to produce these beautiful blues. They look ch-ch-chilly but don’t mistake my reds for warmth over here. Some cold from Siberia is dominating the weather. It will last for a week so we can have some skate fun like Bruegel painted.

February 25, 2018 at 10:30 pm #260594Michael LerchParticipant
Nice capture of winter sky Keelin. Its been cool in the desert for some days. Natures way of letting us learn patience.

I like to explain my former title but I persistently get the message “ERROR: Your topic cannot be created at this”. Anyone knows what this is about? I already asked Ian. I hope he can explain.
I rephrased and rearranged the accompanying text (with which the system seems to have some problems with) to sort out whether it would be so nice to publish it. But the system turns out to be in a bad mood. It didn’t work out well so far. Eventually I succeeded to rephrase the text in a way the system accepted (..?..) and I also had to split the text in different replies. Pfffff. So at last the title is explained.

Fantastic George. That is a hard one to capture. This phenomenon seems to be far more short lived then even a horseshoe vortex….:) Good timing.
I see we are already at post number 100 of this thread. So the sun is going under for this one and will rise again in Volume II (yet to come).
