Cloudscapes Volume IX

[Ruth Quist]

Welcome to anther 100 or so entries.  Thanks, Robert for finishing up the last volume with some lovely clouds.

Big Cloud Shindig.

I like this one more than the one in today’s Gallery Ruth, even tho there is no K-H in this one, the eye movement  is explosive. Deciding the pattern  for a ceramic tile backsplash in the kitchen  is like do you want it to complement the cabinets and countertop or  standout against one or the other? Like cabinetry, all the undulatus is oriented in the same direction. How did you get them to do that?

Michael, thanks for noticing my gallery entry.  I just though realized that I had submitted that photo last fall.  Of course, now there are two.  At least I am consistent.  How I get the clouds to line up correctly is to whistle at them.  They have a minute a line up.

A delicate touch.

Michael, you are right with the wind scape.  My hair caught that breeze.

Some instability in the skies today around these parts.  (1st image in RAW and scaled down to fit, 2nd is also compressed by using a more natural light)

Ruth, your Big Sky shots  are impressive.  Time slips by enjoying the scale.Donatella,  Nice work with the yellows!  Lots of fun to look at!  Brian the daisies in the yard remind us what all the rain  and storms are all about.

Your Big Sky is fun to get lost in Ruth!

Thanks Michael.  I have a few places I love to visit that have these 360-degree views.  Add some mountains and wind, clouds seem to happen.

Back on the bike.

Cowboy territory

Not sure if this counts as a cloud “scape” but I wasn’t sure where else to post. I’ve just come back from Glastonbury Festival (UK). It was very hot. On the last day as we were packing up, I was watching some little cumulus humilis struggling to stay in the sky, with their tops being buffeted by the winds – not quite enough to give me the little curls I was hoping for – but so many “nearly” moments before they eventually dissipated completely.

As we were heading to the cars with our final load before departing, I looked up again, just in case and … saw my first ever supercilium clouds. They were all that was left in the sky! A reward for slogging up and down hills in the searing heat. Photo’s a bit fuzzy but I caught them!

[Ruth Quist]

Paula, exciting festival for you.  Great capture of that unusual cloud formation.

Nice palette of blue, Keelin.  I’ve wondered if your Big Sky included lenticulars Ruth. Now I know. Thx

btw..Last nite got the classic haboo and  monsoon downpour cooling things down quite a bit today and as I type, another monsooner dumping rain for about 5 minutes then again in about a half an hour..Lot of lightning and thunder..Monsoon has arrived..

Michael, the monsoons must be something to look forward to.  Yep, plenty of lenticulars in my area.

Keelin and Micael, as always great photos to share.

A table for four please.

[Ruth Quist]

 

A soft sky.

[Ruth Quist]

Heading down to my favorite camp spot next week.

[Patricia L Keelin]

Thanks, Michael! Are you still getting drenched with monsoons there? It must be captivating to witness such dramatic downpours. We had just the tiniest spinkle here last week.

How I wish I could join you, Ruth, along with Michael and Hans at a ‘table for four’. With a grand window view of cloud-filled sky, of course. Hope you’re not getting drenched while you’re out in the wild there. I keep returning to your Soft Sky for the calm beauty of it.

[Hans Stocker]

Ruth, your ‘table for four’ is fantastic, and I agree wit Keelin that I would love to join you, Keelin and Michael around that table enjoying a grand window view of cloud-filled sky, of course. I had to quote you, Keelin. Can’t say it better.
