Hans, I love the soft swooshiness of your screen cleaners a few posts up. Those clouds were really on the move — and quite a contrast to your Gordian Knot!
The serenity in the images that followed (from both you and Michael) looked to me like the untangling of knottiness. And it left me with quite a yearning for Asperitas, which I’ve not seen in months. That is, until yesterday.
In the late afternoon, the sky took on the telltale tint of fires raging in nearby counties. Mostly burning in the wildlands so far, it’s distant enough to not worry for my own safety, but for others, there is edgy concern. I noticed the smoke-filled clouds had some quality of Asperitas. The sun, low in the sky, doused them with the colors of a summer sunset. While I can appreciate the beauty in the image below, it’s none the less unsettling, knowing what brought them into being.
Fireborn Asperitas
