What a great start for Volume XIX Keelin with Onward. But before going on I must refer to your Floccus In Bloom in the former Volume. A favorite of mine for sure as is “a twister of sorts” by Richard, Arizona B&W #207 and #211 by Michael and the delicate Curling Event by Ruth. It is so much fun to scroll through the former thread, but now onward!

A lot of wild skies and turbulence above. I love Sheer Shearing by Keelin, the intriguing figure in #194 by Michael and the Thumb Print by Ruth.
Outlines

Can’t help but see a funny-faced creature emerging in #196, Michael. Something rather charming in his looks.
Perhaps he has the kind of thumb that would make a fine print like you’ve captured, Ruth.
And a wonderful rough contour in Outlines, Hans. Elemental and aesthetic!

you clearly have a lot of sky to play with out there in arizona, michael — looks like a lot of fun ….. saw some neat things in the cloudscape forum as well today ….. here’s something i saw while out on the coast, having lunch in the park where the old decommissioned lighthouse sits in newport, oregon
lighthouse eruptions

Richard, Howdy! The Big Sky of the West presents a large easel when you can explore it with a good wide angle/telephoto and a Adobe Lightroom that can remove a power line or a bird when required. The problem is of course , the weather moves on thru very quickly here in Az making it sometimes impossible to play/work everything thats going on. That and sometimes it goes for like a couple of weeks with no clouds are my only complaints perhaps due to it is so much fun.
Nice shot on the Light House! Brought the sky down and filled the frame! Nice Example of Big Sky.
Here is some fun I had in B&W that I have already covered in Color posts
Arizona B&W#192

Michael, I keep scrolling up to have another look at @198. It is such a beauty!
And wow, Richard! Are you sure that wasn’t a giant whale passing by? Love the dramatic scene you’ve captured in Lighthouse Eruptions!

I do have some problems for several days with posting my next B&W. I suppose it is in the text but I don’t know what to omit. So now I come up with this boring text in stead of a text with some nice things of all the great pictures above. This one was meant to follow up Keelin’s Let’s Dance!
Watch Your Steps On The Dance Floor
-
-
-
Michael, love the movement in your latest two. #1904 has a swirl that reminds me of the dance of Aurora Borealis.
And Hans, once I read your clever caption to Watch Your Steps…, I couldn’t help but see a little witch being cautious about getting out there on a spirited dance floor.
Stepping Carefully -
-
-
Keelin, Stepping is always good advice. No one wants to take a fall and land in who knows what.
Hans, Fine Grid is splendid in its details. You and your camera must have agreed on that shot.
Michael, #1906, just because I live in bear country, you just captured a grizzly paw print.
Open Up The Windows
-
Indeed, Hans, the detail in A Fine Grid is exceptional! Fantastic clarity there.
And I love the happy wiggle in #1906, Michael. Makes me wanna dance.
Ruth, I can almost feel the fresh breeze and warm sun breaking through in Open Up The Windows.
This shot is such a tiny detail of the original photo that it’s taken on the look of a monochrome watercolor. Unfortunately, all the water is in the artwork, none on the ground here.

Monochrome Cloudscape is a favorite of mine Keelin. Wonderful composition. And I love your last one Into The Grinder as well.
Ruth, your mustache-like Mystery made me raise my eyebrows. Mysterious, black and maybe a eyebrow-cloud?
Your #1906 and #1912 are simply great Michael. You never stop to amaze me.
Here Comes The Sun
-
-
-
Love the calm flow in #1912, Michael, while #112 reminds me of Dante’s Inferno. Very dramatic!
And Hans, Here Comes the Sun is simply lovely.
Here is one that reminds me of a line in Mimi Farina’s song In the Quiet Morning, her touching tribute to Janis Joplin. Joan Baez (Mimi’s sister) sings it with great heart.

Michael, #120 has definitely got mystery to spare. Wonder-full! And exquisite, textural detail in #121.
There’s plenty of mystery in your Black & Blue too, Ruth. I love the way what it actually is slowly emerges from what it might be.

Michael, what color thumb does it take to grown the clouds in your garden? #122 is a beauty. And #123 is delightfully odd! It makes me smile for that very reason.
Ruth, love your magical moonlit scenes. Deeply dark despite the full moon aglow. It even sounds quiet. Hope you didn’t get any mosquito bites while camping.

Duncan, regardless of which orb it may be slipping behind the clouds, what a beauty you’ve captured.
Ruth, a lovely line-up! Have you ever done that type of dance?
Michael, your series of soft cloudscapes is so appealing. #128 reminds me of waves that have tickled my toes, while #129 looks like what it feels like when wind tosses my hair around. I would love to hike to the top of that cloud mountain, and #131 is an absolute favorite.
Hans, Sailing is deliciously surreal! I should like to have that scene continue in my dreams.

Many thanks for the kind and encouraging comments and all the generous sharing from everyone at CAS and on these wonderful forum threads.
Micheal, your photos continue to evoke awe. Hans, your wings raise my spirits, and Ruth, please send the recipe for your delicious photos and (both of you) for your clever captioning.
While I’m not a big fan of fireworks, I know others who are. So I’m thinking this photo might fit for a New Year’s Day wish for Peaceful Dreams and their fulfillment for All.

Thanks to all for sharing your wonderful pictures in this inspiring thread (and others).
Keelin, I am not a big fan of fireworks either but I am a big fan of your Ooh! & Ahh!. A great way to start a new year of sharing our images on the Forum. When you need Fresh Air you must be here and also when you’re in a Balancing Act.

Oh, how it has been a long time since I have posted in this forum. I was almost tempted to wait until someone else posted so that I could post the 100th picture, but I shall instead throw myself upon the sword and leave that honor to someone else.
