Keelin posted reply number 102 for Wave Clouds holding her breath. I hope you already breathed in before the new Volume was started Keelin! I must suppose so, but your last one was indeed breathtaking (any one can check).
Before the post by Keelin George posted some so called KH wannabies on the former Wave Clouds thread. Well, for me the last two are really KH George. I happened to have the opportunity recently to see a lot of nice weather cumuli passing by and a lot of them showed what you would name KH wannabies. From begin to end I watched them develop and disappear in cloudy chaos, one more characteristic then the other, but nevertheless KH instability on cumuli. For me their features are too specific – with this characteristic crescent – to describe them as KH Wannabies. Of course you may disagree, but for a start of this volume here is another one of the same kind with even some color.
May a tsunami of waves follow on this thread.

May 13, 2018 at 3:04 am #274447Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Wave Clouds Volume II ~~ did not see that coming! And what a fabulous start with your iridescent KH caps, Hans. Here’s a wave big enough to cross the pond in gratitude.
Tsunami
-
May 13, 2018 at 3:03 pm #274534Hans StockerParticipant
That is an impressive Tsunami Keelin!
On the other hand I have another tiny one from the same series as the first capture above.

Space Sharks, White Caps, and Blowholes! Oh my!

May 16, 2018 at 10:20 pm #275269Hans StockerParticipant
Oh my indeed! The blowing gave some turbulence.

Off The Hook
-
June 6, 2018 at 7:03 pm #278674Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Off The Hook beckons more than a second glance, Hans. A soft come hither, if you will.
Below, it appears the moon itself jumped free of its usual mooring to bob in a deep blue sea of sky.
Half Moon Adrift
-
June 7, 2018 at 12:59 pm #278779Hans StockerParticipant
Beautiful Half Moon Adrift, Keelin. It must have looked over this restless sea of waves.
-
June 17, 2018 at 12:06 am #280534Patricia L KeelinParticipant
And above the beautiful restless waters, there are the are some who are at play…
In The Sea Spray

June 17, 2018 at 9:15 pm #280661Hans StockerParticipant
Again your signature in this fantastic Sea Spray Keelin. Great play!
Superposed Waves
-
June 22, 2018 at 5:10 am #281316Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Superposed describes those waves perfectly, Hans. It leads me to wonder what lies between the layers. Something light and airy, I would venture to guess. Whereas, in the image below, one may ponder what lies between the devil and this Deep Blue Sea.
-
June 23, 2018 at 3:57 pm #281521Hans StockerParticipant
Wow, it is like the last glimpse of the sun is just visible atf the horizon.
Between the devil and the Deep Blue Sea might be…
Infinity
-
June 27, 2018 at 4:29 am #282077Patricia L KeelinParticipant
I think you must be right, Hans. But can we ever be sure? Or maybe better worded, will we ever get there?
Rowing Forever Across The Dark Sea of Unknowing
-
June 27, 2018 at 5:48 pm #282148Hans StockerParticipant
Very nice Sea of Unknowing Keelin. Where do you find these words? Love it. Enchanting and mystical for sure. To answer your question: probably they won’t get there, but….
We’re all in the same boat ready to float off the edge of the world
The flat old world.Yes again a quotation from the Band, from Life is a Carnival.
Look! The boat is approaching the Edge-Of-The-World.
-
June 29, 2018 at 2:43 am #282338Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Thank you for kind words, Hans. I love the way contemplating clouds inspires unusual thinking, mental meanderings outside-the-box ~~ because there is no box!
Wonder-filled image of the boat approaching the Edge-Of-The-World! But what if there are steps leading to another level? What might we find there?
What If
-
June 29, 2018 at 9:42 am #282389Hans StockerParticipant
What if is a beauty Keelin. It has the feel of giant but very distant waves. For some unconscious reason it reminded me of a song by the Talking Heads, the Overload:
The gentle collapsing
Of every surface
We travel on the quiet road
The overload -

Putting the Waves back in motion…..
-
July 11, 2018 at 2:45 am #284364Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Two posts above, Hans, your serene blue clouds appear to have traveled that quiet road. The pattern they form also reminds me of a page of prose I would like to read. What story would it tell, I wonder? And Putting the Waves back in motion is just what we need after a quiet rest. Love the cresting highlights!
Below, the shredded edges of cloud appear as light reflections from a topping of heady seafoam.
Seafoam Topping
-
July 11, 2018 at 3:06 pm #284454Hans StockerParticipant
Seafoam Topping is like whipped cream. Very tasty picture Keelin.
Rippled Foam
-
July 15, 2018 at 3:34 am #285115Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Rippled Foam is just as tasty, Hans!
I found the somewhat foamy image below tucked away in archives today. As I recall, it was the lennies in the far distance that caught my eye. It had been ages since I’d seen any lenticularis, and spotting just a couple brought a big grin. The layering of clouds in the foreground reminds me of coastal fog, which also makes me smile — especially since I don’t live nearly near enough to the sea.
Offshore Lennies
-
July 20, 2018 at 7:00 pm #286132Hans StockerParticipant
Offshore Lennies is an imaginative picture Keelin. Dense fog rolling in from far. It seems to be far but something in it urges to hurry. Love it.
Long After The Sea Stayed Restless
-
July 22, 2018 at 8:35 pm #286478George PreoteasaParticipant
Fluctus? Not sure about it. Could be undulatus seen from a particular angle? What do others think?
-
July 22, 2018 at 9:14 pm #286483Hans StockerParticipant
George, to me it certainly was fluctus but now seems to be already over the top (so to say). I am also not certain whether one can call it fluctus in this phase of the flow. In fact fluctus is caused by an instability and at a certain point of the process it shows the typical crests of a Kelvin- Helmholtz formation now classified as fluctus. I suppose it is at that point it is classified as fluctus. Your picture just shows something of it before it all dissipates in cloudy chaos (quote from the Cloud a Day service).
-
July 24, 2018 at 2:29 am #286673Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Whatever the proper classification may be, George, there’s something fun in the form taken by the clouds you’ve captured there.
And Hans, Long After The Sea Stayed Restless would be the perfect title for a mystery novel with that image on the cover. Did something (or someone!) go overboard? Perhaps only those with a bird’s eye view could say.
Winged Witnesses
-
July 24, 2018 at 12:02 pm #286730Hans StockerParticipant
Love the birds Keelin! But what strange story these winged witnesses would tell. I expect no one will believe their wild stories seeing this innocent rippling peaceful waters a bit later……
-
July 29, 2018 at 1:28 am #287594Patricia L KeelinParticipant
There is great beauty in the calmness you’ve captured in your image, Hans. It’s almost as if undulatus is being reflected in nearly still water that ripples gently in the opposite direction. And yet, we know it all took place in the sky above.
Quite a contrast to what the image below suggests. Another plunge into the deep by who, what, when, where?
-
August 7, 2018 at 2:20 am #289155Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Subtle Current
-
August 7, 2018 at 11:01 am #289218Hans StockerParticipant
Plunging in the deep and surfacing in this gentle current is a pleasure Keelin.
Playing Waves

August 26, 2018 at 5:44 pm #292409Hans StockerParticipant
A view from above on a clouded sea? No I did not fly to capture this….
Seascape
-
August 27, 2018 at 10:46 pm #292601Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Even with grounded feet, Hans, the mind can still take flight. I get a lovely feeling of being aloft from both of your images above.
Below, something odd seems to be happening with these wavy clouds.
Strange Tidings
-
September 28, 2018 at 9:33 pm #299135Hans StockerParticipant
Keelin, I love these Strange Tidings and the waves they produce. They are so foamy.
Today these waves came by.
-
October 2, 2018 at 2:34 am #299705Patricia L KeelinParticipant
…and now they are heading back ~~~
Returning Tide
-
October 2, 2018 at 12:05 pm #299768Hans StockerParticipant
This is so funny Keelin! I don´t loose my smile for a whole day after having seen this one.

Meeting Of The Tides
-
October 5, 2018 at 2:32 am #300996Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Hans, I can almost feel this Meeting Of The Tides. It is so convincing! My toes want to curl right into those wave clouds. Can you feel the breeze?
The Wind Off The Waves
-
October 16, 2018 at 12:02 pm #303183Hans StockerParticipant
One can see the foam blown off on ‘The Wind Off The Waves’, Keelin.
Further on there is this
Waterfall
-
October 31, 2018 at 4:13 pm #306069Patricia L KeelinParticipant
It doesn’t take much imagination while viewing your Waterfall, Hans, to hear the rush of river flow. The image nearly animates as well.
And here is a question: If a wave crashes on the shore and no one is there, does it make a sound? I stood beneath this wave of cloud and heard nothing, but witnessed resounding beauty.
-
November 1, 2018 at 11:46 am #306224Hans StockerParticipant
What a beauty Keelin. Your notes make me remember ..
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.Soundless Waves
-
November 2, 2018 at 3:13 am #306357Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Thank you, Hans! Your Soundless Waves well capture the feeling of such visions. In the image below, my mind hears a riff about wild winds that stole the waves from the sea and formed them into these tumultuous clouds.
They Came From The Sea
-
November 10, 2018 at 7:20 pm #307979Hans StockerParticipant
Keelin, I like this vision you build of stolen waves to shape the clouds. They Came From The Sea for sure!
A few days ago I spotted these waves that were lost in the sky.
The Boats Took Shelter In The Harbor -
November 14, 2018 at 2:44 am #308565Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Love the misty seas you have there, Hans.
In The Shallows
-
November 19, 2018 at 12:09 pm #309480Hans StockerParticipant
Ah, In The Shallows, the boats can find shelter Keelin. And one can see the Seaweed Tangle. Love it.
Rippling
By the way: for some strange reason I can’t add a reply to the Optical Phenomena Volume III topic. When I try I get logged out. I reported it to Ian.
-
November 21, 2018 at 4:17 am #309837Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Rippling is a lovely image, Hans. Gentle currents can leave one so relaxed. And still I wonder about the depths and…
What Might Be Encountered
By the way, for some reason I can’t reply to the Colour topic tonight. Will ask for help from Ian.
-
November 24, 2018 at 2:19 am #310808George PreoteasaParticipant
A different interpretation of clouds that look like waves.
-
November 29, 2018 at 5:23 pm #311870Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Beautiful photo, George. You caught the effect perfectly!
Here’s one that might bring new meaning to surfing the cloud…
-
November 29, 2018 at 11:16 pm #311911George PreoteasaParticipant
Thank you Keelin, that means a lot coming from you.
Very nice deep blue ocean shot, I can see the surfers riding the wave.
-
-
December 9, 2018 at 4:09 pm #317212Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Thank you, George. And congratulations on your Cloud of the Month cumulus! It’s a beauty and a splendid reminder of where one can find calm and bright when the holidazzle daze overwhelms.
Too Much Of A Good Thing
-
December 9, 2018 at 5:21 pm #317228Hans StockerParticipant
As far as I am concerned never Too Much of these Good Things Keelin. And I love the waves by George (true waves and mirrored waves).
Waves In Waves
-
December 11, 2018 at 2:48 am #317625Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Love your Waves In Waves, Hans, great color and composition caught in a single moment of motion.
Below, the question is: Are we looking up or down?
A View From The Crow’s Nest
-
December 13, 2018 at 1:47 pm #318347Hans StockerParticipant
Keelin, your View From The Crow’s Nest reminds me of that strange bird that left the forum just a year ago. Recently I noticed his contributions on the website The halo Vault. Optical pheneomena clearly have his specific interest (and I also like to keep up with the strange pheneomena that are shared on that site!). Like a true Crow he seemingly appreciates the glittering of halos.
Waving
-
December 15, 2018 at 2:04 am #318743Patricia L KeelinParticipant
That is quite a formidable image, Hans. I very much like its dynamic composition. It also serves as a reminder that I’ve been wanting to acknowledge your inclusion in the CAS 2019 Calendar ~~ Congratulations! Prost!
As for our crow friend, perhaps we will see him alight again on our Optical Phenomena topic. Meanwhile, I suppose we can offer a big wave and wish him favorable winds.
-
December 21, 2018 at 5:39 pm #321196Hans StockerParticipant
Thank you Keelin! And cheers. You can´t see but I have a nice glass of wine in front of me. It was a great surprise to me.
I see you captured the Crow in flight on favorable winds I suppose.
Here is the proof that waves can´t make up their minds where to go.
Which Wave To Follow?
-
December 27, 2018 at 4:48 am #322300Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Which Wave To Follow, shows some fine options for the clouds above, Hans, while the waves below don’t seem to wonder or wander.
Follow The Leader
-
December 27, 2018 at 2:23 pm #322373Hans StockerParticipant
Ha, very nice Keelin, but
Who´s The Leader?
-
December 30, 2018 at 6:07 pm #322865Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Gorgeous photo, Hans! Love the streaky flow of wind currents in your image above. As for which wave to follow, sometimes one is simply overwhelmed.
Along For The Ride
-
January 14, 2019 at 1:31 am #325296George PreoteasaParticipant
Only the surfer is missing.
-
-
January 7, 2019 at 1:04 pm #324224Hans StockerParticipant
Along For The Ride is indeed overwhelming Keelin. Impressive composition.
Determined About Its Direction
-
January 13, 2019 at 3:23 am #325181Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Determined About Its Direction is perfectly titled, Hans, as you’ve successfully captured this very driven cloud formation. And it looks like it has some slipstreaming followers. Still, it seems there are always a few who will go their own way…
Sneaking Off Together
-
January 14, 2019 at 1:41 am #325298George PreoteasaParticipant
Rough fluctus. And a baby.
-
January 14, 2019 at 10:21 pm #325470Don HatfieldParticipant
George – How did you know that Fluctus is my favorite clout?

-
January 15, 2019 at 8:39 am #325543Hans StockerParticipant
I love the baby George! Floating so gentle and bright in the blue.
And a very nice reverie Don.
Sneaking Off Together is very funny Keelin. It made me laugh.
On Its Own
-
January 19, 2019 at 1:37 am #326209Patricia L KeelinParticipant
To look up and see whatever the sky has to offer is one gift. To scroll through the CAS forums is quite another offering with visions beyond one’s own horizon. So grateful to all for sharing here.

-
February 8, 2019 at 10:21 pm #329340Hans StockerParticipant
Yes Keelin, I agree fully with your text accompanying Never Really Alone. Applicable title. Followed by Fog And Foam ( I tried to blow off some of it) and a turbulent wintry cloudscape. I should say very foamy too.
Colored Waves
-
February 12, 2019 at 5:38 pm #329952Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Love those ripples of color, Hans. Your timing was just right to capture them, for as we know…

Brrrr. Really icy this shoreline. Love the cool freshness of it, Keelin.
Rich Waters
-
March 8, 2019 at 11:47 pm #333443Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Rich Waters indeed in your clouds above, Hans. And that little river of blue that runs through them sweeps me away. Do I care where it takes me? Not a drop!
Ferried In Fog
-
March 9, 2019 at 2:21 pm #333508Hans StockerParticipant
Very nice Keelin. I imagine a misty ride after which the fog disappears reaching calm wavy wide waters.
P.S.: I will search the sky elsewhere for the next two weeks where I don’t have my archive. I look forward for what will be posted the next two weeks here and in other threads.
-
March 11, 2019 at 4:24 pm #333785Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Those Wavy Wide Waters would make for nice travels, Hans. Hope you have the same, with just enough of the unexpected to add gleeful sparks of !!!
Unexpected Fun

Thank you Keelin. Unexpected Fun is the best fun one can have!

Hans, your host of lenticualis over Charigny on the CAS Gallery is exquisite! Love the subtle color and those shapes that make the mind swim. And your Waves at Sunset are a sensuous delight.

-
June 24, 2019 at 4:20 am #353095George PreoteasaParticipant
I am not a frequent visitor here so it’s nice to be treated to some very nice pictures, Keelin and Hans!
Incidentally, Sunday’s Cloud (if you are getting those mails) is one of Hans’s shots. When I opened the mail, even before seeing the whole picture, I knew it was one by Hans, probably with his 400mm telephoto. Hans, you have developed a very personal style, which I think people can recognize just like one would recognize a known painter. Would you post the Sunday cloud picture here for people to enjoy and see what I mean?
-
June 24, 2019 at 2:11 pm #353173Hans StockerParticipant
Thank you George for your kind words. It may be funny that I am not aware of a certain style myself but it is really nice when you recognize something the like. It might be easier to recognize it for someone else? I suppose you also will recognize pictures by Michael or Keelin? I do and I mentioned their recognizable signature before in several threads.
The Sunday cloud picture is already on the gallery (June 4, 2019) but maybe next one is also interesting. A wider shot of the cloud formation in b&w that I posted in the Black & White Thread XIII:

Thank you for kind comments, George, and glad you dropped by for a dip in the Waves topic. While I live too far from the sea to suit my soul, I find the sky often offers to ease the longing.
Undercurrent
-
June 29, 2019 at 6:31 pm #354106Hans StockerParticipant
In my former post I forgot to mention Breaching by Keelin. Breaching, that is exactly what it is. But Windy Night On The High Seas is even more what the title says. It must be a ultra-violate version of a masterpiece by Turner!
Just Lazy Waves
-
July 4, 2019 at 3:50 pm #354902Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Ahhhh, so relaxing, Hans. Those lovely lazy waves must be located far from the waterfall.
Cirrus Cascade
-
July 4, 2019 at 10:40 pm #354964Hans StockerParticipant
Cirrus Cascade shows a really refreshing waterfall Keelin.
Here is one that has become rather grainy because of the cropping. Yet I like to share it for its coincidental composition. It was taken some years ago with the cloudspotter app on the phone.
Seagulls Over Waves
-
July 8, 2019 at 11:58 pm #355652Patricia L KeelinParticipant
A lovely image, Hans. And the graininess adds a fine texture ~~ all the feeling of relaxing by the sea with nothing more to do than watch seagulls soar.
Below, it’s as if the clouds were trying their best to merge both feathers and waves into a memorable montage.

Dark Feathered Waves is a memorable montage for sure Keelin.

Fluctus is so fleeting in nature! You were lucky to catch such a fine, clear wave, Andrealibero. Thank you for sharing it with us here.
There wasn’t much left of it in the image below, and at such a far distance it seems now to have been almost a dream.
