Let’s see how this one fares. If it has legs, it will run…

Theres usually at least few left over shots for everyone that gets into the Gallery.This is a great place for those shots
-
December 11, 2017 at 4:13 pm #246237Hans StockerParticipant
Wow, both great starts. And yes there are always pictures not fit for the gallery but still nice to share. Not only the ones that maybe manipulated to the edge.
-
December 11, 2017 at 9:46 pm #246320Alec JonesParticipant
It may seem strange, but over the years I’ve never really bothered looking at the gallery much. For me the most interesting and creative material has always been here on the forum.

Thank you, Alec, for a brilliant launch! Can’t wait to see what colors may come.

Mamma mia!

December 15, 2017 at 11:42 pm #248035Howard BrownParticipant
Somewhat unfortunate phrase, Hans? I don’t see any mamma in your picture or Michael’s Monsooner #12. But as a confessed Cu fan I think they are both towering photos. Thanks, both.
-
December 16, 2017 at 12:07 am #248040Hans StockerParticipant
I understand the misunderstanding Hygge (??). The Mamma Mia was my reaction to the towering clouds Alec posted and in general this phrase can be applicable also for other posts, but then not literally. :)

Capped Clouds..as in, first they were Cumulus then they got capped by high speed moisture laden atmosphere.

What an impressive cloud cover with the various colors. Isn’t this an example of the asperatus undulatus cloud type? Reminds me of some kind of webbing over the sky. Here’s one I took over our area, Arkansas, in April 2017.
-
-
December 18, 2017 at 3:30 pm #248746Hans StockerParticipant
Also in this thread the millstone grinds. And remembering memories lead us to memory lane, which offers such a peaceful view. A crazy Cephalopod awakens us from our dreams.

Cephalopod! Exactly what I saw as well, Alec, in Michael’s gorgeous image (which I would love to bring into a dream with me). And Hans, referring again to your comment (Halos thread) on where beauty may be found, it is indeed in all directions, Left And Right, Above Or Below.

This is quite possibly one of the finest photos I’ve ever seen on this forum.

Thank you very much Alec. That is quite a compliment. No better way to start this day with!

December 20, 2017 at 2:41 am #249229Michael LerchParticipant
clover..ahh you saw it!..Yes that picture was taken near the end of great little asperitas(spelling has been revised due to a Latin expert’s perspective on grammar) event one morning in Mesa Az. Below is the event at a distance and some may remember this shot from Gallery or previous postings. To have such an event approach and roll overhead seemingly to be able to touch..leaves one in a place where words haven’t been originated to describe..yet.
A Good test for asperitas is..look at it upside down. Undulating waves should be easily discerned with pockets or depressions going up into the cloud base..Your photo when viewed upside down,,clearly demonstrates asperitas undulatus.
-
December 20, 2017 at 11:11 am #249346Alec JonesParticipant
Mike, that’s masterful, another image that would look good blown up to several feet and gracing the walls of an art gallery.
Does anyone else get annoyed with “experts” dictating what is right in any given situation? Whilst asperitas may be grammatically correct Latin, I much prefer the original ‘incorrect’ asperatus. Who in the world besides ourselves ever discusses asperatus/asperitas? Regardless of “official” naming conventions, the decision should be ours and ours alone The little people of the world should rise up and demand that their voices, opinions and preferences be heard. Asperitas? Blech…
-
-
December 20, 2017 at 11:33 am #249350Hans StockerParticipant
You are right Alec. We don’t aspire to such nerdy wordgames.
Great pictures indeed by Michael and Cloverpatch of asperitas. I love the one with the precipitation! It reminds me of the first asperitas event – at that time an asperatus event – I witnessed and captured with the cloudspotter app.

December 20, 2017 at 10:10 pm #249535Patricia L KeelinParticipant
All of the above — Extraordinary! And anyway you spell it, Aspersatusitas inspiresus. But speaking of nomenclature, what would fit for the effect shown below. I’ve seen this type of spikiness in the clouds before and thought perhaps the sky was hinting my hair could us some gel. (At this age, I’m really too old, yet still too young, to be reaching for the blue tint.)
Blue Splash
-
December 21, 2017 at 12:14 am #249550Donna SchwiederParticipant
What a nice photo Keelin! “Blue Splash” is a good name for it. Looks like you were getting some stormy weather rolling in or out. And it almost looks like mammatus clouds were trying to form. In the photo below a thunderstorm was approaching. Photo taken March 26, 2017 over our farm. Mammatus clouds usually form either before or after severe weather. We get enough of that here in Arkansas.
-
December 21, 2017 at 1:22 am #249567Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Thanks, Cloverpatch! Your photo above is a splendid example of beauty not lost in Black & White, while your images in color below are pure golden globes of wonder. It looks like you get plenty of big sky there for capturing wild weather.
-
December 21, 2017 at 1:31 am #249569Donna SchwiederParticipant
Hi Keelin, Lots of sky to photograph around here and I am always looking at the sky. A continual amazement. The above photo looks like a black and white one but I didn’t make it black and white. That is how it came out as the sky was gray and cloudy. I love to watch the clouds swirling and making such interesting formations. I used to call these “bubble clouds” until I learned the real name.
-
December 21, 2017 at 12:31 am #249552Donna SchwiederParticipant
We had a severe thunderstorm and then the sky at sunset was quite spectacular with mammatus clouds bubbling up across the sky. Looked magical. I took this photo and the one below on March 8, 2016 over our area. Photos are not enhanced as I don’t know how to do that. I use a Canon Power Shot SX510 HS on auto.

Wow!

December 21, 2017 at 3:44 pm #249718Hans StockerParticipant
Coloring this way in the evening light, your ‘bubble clouds’ need no enhancement , Cloverpatch. What a sight! Must have been awesome.
Great iridescence Alec, not even grinded.
Love the Blue Splash with its spikiness Keelin.
Grinded?

December 22, 2017 at 10:59 am #249906Hans StockerParticipant
I agree with Cloverpatch, Alec. Your act 1, scene 1 from Macbeth is a perfect winter scenery. While Arizona is visited by a towering cumulonimbus.
We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when.

Thank you Michael. And thank you for the fireworks too!

Alec, that purple color in your image a few posts above is the stuff of which dreams are made and the one more recently above is like a whisper. As for Hans’s dunes, they make me want to dip toes into Sky or Sea, despite the chilly look — and with or without the offer of Venus’s beautiful, warm-colored belt.

Hans, what am I looking at here? What is creating those beautiful waves? I imagine it to be turbulence from the airplane, but I think it’s just a natural phenomenon?
-
January 2, 2018 at 3:11 pm #251877Hans StockerParticipant
I don’t know Kristy. It was “just” the wavy background of the plane that caught my attention. It may be something the wind has done at high level with the remnants of some former contrail. Or it might be a wavy undulating structure in the thin stratuslike cloud.

From Under, to Distant Pinks, in search of Asperitas, who wouldn’t want to hop aboard a Lennie and go for it? Meanwhile, back at home, the sky paints its palette blue and grey, with a nod to Don McLean’s Vincent.
