[Ruth Quist]

Michael, thanks for another chapter.

A Nimbostratus Morning

[Hans Stocker]

Great start of a new volume for B&W’s, Michael. Your start has a Christmas feel.

I recognize the grey autumn – now over here – in your Nimbostratus Morning, Ruth.

Cirrus with mamma

 

[Ruth Quist]

Hans, nice mamma.

More gray mamma.

[Michael Lerch]

Mammatus in the house!

Maybe some more Christmas  in B&W below.  Christmas in B&W is a tough assignment Hans.

[Hans Stocker]

The Christmas-feel assignment may be tough, but it is easily given Michael😊.

What do you think of this one?

Just another day in the year

[Gregory Venarsky]

I agree. It may be a bit hard to get a good snapshot of Christmas in B&W, however, what better way to have a Christmas than with snow!

White Mountain Christmas

[Ruth Quist]

Hans, I think you may have found some angle hair.

Gregory, lovely B&W with some serious snow.  I think you may have caught a flag up on the high peak.

Michael, #2402 could be some snow men.

Fine as Silk

[Michael Lerch]

Hans I like the Just another day!..The gray drape you captured  makes it a 3 dimensional wonder! Well Done! As is White Mtn Xmas Gregory!  The wind creating a snow cloud off that peak?  And talk about wind, if only the wind blown cirrus would drop to us in bolts of fine spun silk Ruth..

Arizona B&W#2403

[Hans Stocker]

Thanks Michael. There is silken virga in your B&W #2403. Love it. Indeed Fine As Silk, Ruth! And an impressive example of a banner cloud in White Mountain Christmas Gregory. You must be in the mood already😊.

Window Of Opportunity

[Hans Stocker]

Hunting Needles

[Ruth Quist]

Hans, nice needles.  Almost like porcupine.  Those guys are mean.

A Bit Breezy

[Hans Stocker]

Yes, breezy, Ruth. I tried to find some more breezy ones. I come up with this one.

Gust

[Hans Stocker]

A happy new year to all. A new year promising new amazing and surprising Black and Whites.

Sticky Holes

[Ruth Quist]

Hans, yep that is a gust alright.  Plus, some big holes boot.

Nose Ticklers

[Patricia L Keelin]

All kinds of fun happening in this thread. Leave it to Black & White to bring it on!

Miscellaneous Mystery

[Ruth Quist]

Keelin, I love a good mystery.  I always enjoy your photos and wit.  

Popcorn Anyone

[Michael Lerch]

I brought my 3D glasses to watch this movie.

Michael, very interesting screen or netting.

Low Skirt

[Patricia L Keelin]

Thanks for your kind comments, Ruth. Popcorn looks delicious — and Michael’s response is better than butter!

Michael, I’v never seen such a fine, evenly lined cloud layer. Fantastic!

Above and Beyond

[Hans Stocker]

Above and beyond looks fantastic and fiery as well, Keelin. Thinking of fire I hope you are far away from the fires around LA. Really terrifying!

Smooth

[Patricia L Keelin]

Love the calming smoothness of Smooth, Hans. And thank you, yes, Napa is far north of the surreal, devastation happening in LA. It is truly catastrophic. If only tears could drench those wild winded fires for our southern neighbors/friends.

Empathy and Embers

[Michael Lerch]

Beyond tragic scene in Los Angeles. Makes us all wonder about fire conditions around our own town. Keelin the undulatus shot was made possible with a zoom telephoto lens. A fair amount of , compression of space, takes place with a telephoto lens. The alignment of the undulatus with the background  is what made me take the shot. So I got a lot of undulatus and a simpler  background with lighting that made it all possible. Below is another shot , zoomed in on an area, that shows diminishing undulatus the closer you get to the bottom right. Hans your pic reminds me of the olde Cadillac tail fins on their 50’s era models!

Love everyone’s photos.  Grey and cold in my area.  Looking back at summertime is helping my head.  Thinking I should buy some flowers at the store this week!

Swishy

[Michael Lerch]

May your 360 degree cloudspotting spot be warm enough to visit everyday, Ruth.  Winter cabin fever is taking its toll on you.

[Ruth Quist]

Michael, who doesn’t love bacon.

A Crater in the sky

[Hans Stocker]

Ah, delicate and tasty bacon, Michael. And then a creamy cappuccino from Ruth. Strange combination?

Please No Hairs In It

[Ruth Quist]

Hans, very funny.  Yum, bacon and coffee.  I think your hair may have blown away with:

The Big Fan
