      I cant think of a better start of a new volume for cloudscapes Michael than your Arizona Cloudscape #501. Great composition of different kind of undulations that are also perfectly interfering in the middle.

      ‘The last one of Volume IV by Keelin is the funny Blue Dog Window. I advise to check that one before going any further.

      Quite a peculiar cloudscape Michael in #502. An intriguing one indeed!

      I have a question for you for some time already – a question that Keelin already answered (unfortunately with a no) – and it it is whether you feel like joining a group in the community. I have noticed there are two groups for Arizona, one for Phoenix and one for Northern. I have noticed that after the introduction of the communities the activity on the Forum also increased. I am joining both with pleasure  and I am just curious. I hope you don’t mind my curiosity.

      A splendid start to Volume V, Michael, and a good reminder that this topic is likely to go in unrestrained directions, as Hans offers fine evidence with Any Size And Length.

      Ruth, your Wispy Creature looks like it’s tickling the sky. Is that a giggle I hear?

      And Hans, just to clarify in case there was any misunderstanding, I do wish I could have answered yes to the invitation. Alas, as it is, I can barely keep up with the forum. That said, however, and prompted by your note above to Michael, I just took a look at the Cloudspotter group for Holland and found many more photos by you and others that I am delighted to see! I must try to check these more often. I do hope others will join us here on the forum topics as well.

      Love the Freescale above! Below, a faint halo shines through cool skies.

      New between the cloudscapes in this thread is the soundscape Keelin posted: One Note Wall Of Sound, a great funny find and ingenious too. The creativity on the Forum is always surprising.

      Lovely picture Hans. The cumulus feel like letters on the scroll in the bottle. It is a bit wet here, Michael, but I don’t mind. Recently we’ve gotten quite a bit of snow. Here’s one of my favorites. It appears to have undulatus on the ground and cumulus in the sky.

      I agree with Ruth, Keelin: I love your Giggles and the latest on the gallery as well. A marvelous shadow makes the difference in colors.

      Deep Breath , Then Blow Out shows a great woolly sky, Ruth.

      You spotted some great undulatus in the snow Gregory. Indeed Cloudy, No Matter where you Stand.

      Michaels’s scape in B&W has a nice composition.  At the moment I thought that it suggests motion I suddenly saw this train coming. Love it.

      Finally catching up with this topic and see there are lots of recent additions to enjoy from Ruth, Gregory, Hans, Michael, skies of many moods to marvel! Gregory, love the mirrored effect in your Snowy sky/landscape. Michael, #507 is full of pizzazz! Hans, your Lenscape is so other-worldly, I keep seeing other worlds within, like a snowy scene I’d like to cross-country ski through. And Ruth, you’ve framed the sun so perfectly in Just The Other Day. Did you wait for it or catch it in that very moment?

      Just a couple of days ago, looking up brought a flashback to childhood. I could almost hear my little brother giggling, pillow in hand, winding up…

      Enjoyed seeing your queue of Cu made the Gallery’s line-up, Ruth!

      And speaking of brothers who enjoy tossing things… Years ago I made a series of colorful pillows stuffed with cedar chips in the shape of fish. They were about 12” long and the idea was to keep them in closets to deter moths. My brother had other ideas. He would keep one on the couch hidden beneath other pillows until some unsuspecting person within range would happen by. You’d hear the cry “FISH!” and in a blur of color, one would come flying across the room…

      Donatella, it is so nice to see you here again, and with such beautiful photos from the wild-weathered Pacific Northwet.

      Ruth, Just Today gives such an impression of space I found myself taking an extra big breath while viewing it.

      Followed by holding that same breath as your Dunescape appeared, Hans. Looks like a good downpour might have begun any second there.

      Meaty Clouds and Spirits Rising. Great titles for these beautiful captures, Ruth and Keelin.

      Here is one taken a few days ago on a day with lots of energy in the sky: storm systems, asperitas, sunny spells, rain and lightning. My camera worked extra hours. I was a bit puzzled about what I saw here but having given it a thought it is probably a shelf cloud and I didn’t recognize it the moment I spotted it. Nevertheless the circumstances were there for a shelf.

      Hans, nice capture with the slight light and a ray.  Richard, your B & W makes my eyes want more.  I’ll bet there are ducks in that refuge too.

      Hans, I love that sweep of clouds, dark to light in Ominous and that hint of color in Before Sunset. Beautiful.

      Richard, I feel as if I can see for miles in your Willamette Valley view, and
      your latest is simply grand.

      Ruth, no surprise your Heading Home was added to the Gallery. I can almost feel the quiet there. Hope you made it to shelter before your latest one let loose!

      Donnatella, your Cloudscapes is like a splendid and magical sneak peek at a city of clouds beyond our normal view.

      Over the past couple of days, we’ve finally seen some clouds roll in!

      lately i’ve been trying to see our fair valley through the eyes of the kalapuyan people who lived here before the great western migration pushed them out to reservations on the margins …… in an attempt to avoid obvious elements of modernity, i’ve decided to take aim at the skies over their former lands (an example was the ‘low ceiling over a refuge’ i posted last month, taken on the former land of the yamhills)

      this new one has a longish title — ‘view over the willamette from the land of the luckiamute kalapuya to the land of the santiam’

      That’s a great shelf cloud on “roll with it” Ruth. One almost can see it move over the landscape.

      Keelin, your Long Awaited Arrival makes me realize that the presence of clouds is so much different everywhere. On one place too much and on the other too little.

      Richard, I love to repeat your almost poetic title of your latest:  ‘view over the willamette from the land of the luckiamute kalapuya to the land of the santiam’. A great composition as well.

      Love the crispness and composition you’re achieving in your photos, Richard. And the long, evocative (and as Hans noted, rather poetic) titles as well.

      A Lot Of Cloud indeed, Hans. In fact, I almost missed that subtle opening in the upper right corner. Once seen, it has a curiously magnetic draw.

      I feel the same pull to explore in your Track and Field photo, Ruth. Hope this one fits…

      Ah, so many things to see in the different cloudscapes above. Love them all but “a white oak savannah in the land of the yamhill kalapuya” by Richard is really picked from a fairy tale. Don’t I see a hobbit in its way?

      ‘Track and Field’ and ‘Space Ship On The Move’ are both great wide and breath taking views, Ruth.

      And your Puzzle Piece fits so well here, Keelin. I love the deceiving play of light in it.

      Great sense of depth in the latest posts from everyone above. The sky’s been a bit quiet here lately. Had to look back a couple of weeks ago to find this one. As I recall, there was a skyful of action with clouds literally consuming each other.

      This is a cloud that just about escaped.  Believe I may have seen a HV.  Unfortunately I couldn’t get to my camera fast even.  Way cool to experience a new a fleeting cloud.

      Those HVs are such quick morphers, Ruth. But I like that bit that lingered for you. It’s like a little celestial comma, a reminder to pause and take a breath. It makes a nice follow-up to the fast-moving feel of the Ameba scene you caught above.

      We’ve had rather quiet skies here lately. But a week or so ago, clouds passed through with some thunder and lightning. Alas only a little rain.

      Cloud Fire is amazing. Great cloudscape drama, Richard!

      Love your Ameba Ruth, a nice composition..

      Lovely Clouds, Little Rain looks like it had more rain in it than it delivered Keelin. Still a very nice cloudscape.
