What a lovely launch, Michael. As usual, you’ve caught the light just right! I’ve also been meaning to say kudos on your cascade of Cirrus featured on the Gallery on December 28! I love the underwater feel you captured so well in that image.
Volume V featured all manner of colorful clouds on display, a bit of poetry, and even some musical and mathematical references. Who could have predicted that? And who knows where our sharing of clouds and commentary will lead next? Perhaps the answer is blowing in the wind.

Fabulous images, Michael and Hans! Catching up just now with this color topic is a feast for the eyes. Arizona Color #606 is mesmerizing, Michael. And Contrasting Structures is like a moment of surprise not to be missed, Hans.
The image below was taken on a very stormy day. I could barely detect what I thought might be interesting swirls in the clouds. In order to see what was really happening up there, I gave the image strong contrast, which delivers the impression of a rough textured watercolor. Rough weather, water, color… somehow, for me, the resulting image captures the dark moodiness of the sky that afternoon.

Hans, your Shadowing image has all the elements of an intriguing dream. I keep falling into the space in between the soft-edged iridescence and the crisp, silver-lined cloud with its deep dark shadow, where something(?!) will soon unfold.
And Michael, Arizona Color #611 is one I want to dive right into. I would hold my breath in anticipation, but why? It’s (mostly) all air up there, n’est-ce pas?
Lots of rain here lately, and a bit of hail too. But the sky captured below promised something else.

A Soft Rain’s A-Gonna Fall in California and the desert is in the mist. It feels all so Dutch and familiar now sitting inside with this grey nimbostratus and the accompanying drizzle outside. In between mister Kelvin and mister Helmholtz are showing what the instability with their names can produce in the air when the weather is fine.
It Can Be Anywhere

Indeed, Hans, It Could Be Anywhere, but it was there — and you captured it! At least for the moment. And then who knows what may have become of those lovely cloud wisps? Perhaps some found their way across the pond and became part of Michael’s Arizona Color #614? Maybe they were even part of #613, which hold a definite mystery about it.
Michael, #613 is one of my favorites! It could well be the opening scene of a movie that would definitely be going somewhere anxiety-producing. The subtly discernible cactus in the foreground is a perfect touch (no pun intended). The feeling it evokes reminds me again of Todd Hido’s photographic encounters with foggy environments.

Warm greetings to all from snowy Kittredge, Colorado. This is my first glimpse at the forums since arriving here over a week ago, and the beautiful images posted to the topics are definitely spirit-restoring. While care-taking a beloved sister, my time to browse and post will be limited, but I just want to say how much I miss everyone here and how grateful I am for the smiles your images bring. Below is a photo taken just after my arrival in Denver.

Yes, Keelin, may all go well with you and your sister. It does appear to me more important than any reply. Meanwhile I hope you enjoy the forum and gallery. Best wishes!
Speaking about the gallery: Michael your recently published mix of altocumulus is ….. refreshing. That must be the word for what it feels like.

Thank you Hans. I had to be patient for that shot and a few others of that event. I saw its potential from a distance and had to wait for it. I was pleased to see it hold together just long enough for me to get a few pics of it. Like your lacunosus above the clouds can take their time and let us get shots of them, and sometimes the event is over by the time the camera is just being turned on…oh well.

Thank you, Hans and Michael for your kind, well wishes while I was under the clouds of Colorado. I didn’t have much time to gaze upwards, but should find a few cloudscapes to share as time allows. It may be that a return to further assist my sis will be required, but meanwhile I hope to catch up with the splendid images posted to the forum over these past few weeks. What I’ve seen so far is more than pleasing to the eye and definitely refreshing to the spirit.
Beam Me Up!

Keelin, I particularly like Towards Twilight. In fact I wonder if you kept shooting because I have concluded of late that I really enjoy Post Twilight – the sky still has light but the clouds are now dark. Recently a waxing sliver of setting moon in the North West added its charm to the vista.

Thanks, Hygee! Twilight and post-Twi have a calmness about them I enjoy too. A sliver of moon always tends to catch my eye as it brings to mind a sweet little girl named Ayça whom I met decades ago on a tiny beach in Turkey. She made a enduring memory for me explaining that she was named for the crescent moon.
