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.

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…

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-
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.

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.

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.

Septicemia enlightened by crepasculars, fading into Roadside Winter Blues. Are those winter blues also possible in Napa, Keelin? Great play of light!

And the earth turns old
And the young bird’s eyes
Do always glowShe must fly

Beautiful Family Gathering Keelin. I suppose the gathering takes place behind the lighted windows on the purple winter evening by Alec?

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.
