ParticipantAh, nice opening of Volume II, Alec.
The last one of volume I was a real Tandem Surfer. The same B&W witch I caught in the act. must have materialized on the other side of the pond.

ParticipantAnd thus all good things must come to an end. The call came in late last night from the Institute. Project: Sky Glyph is go and the good Doctor has intimated that he is urgently in need of my services. I am unsure how long I will be engaged on this little adventure of ours but I can promise you that I will return to the shores of this forum, whether it is in a few weeks, a few months or even years to share some more images. I must thank ‘H’ for inviting me back and to all of you for making me so welcome and for putting up with and joining in my humour and shenanigans.
Until then dear friends, dear hearts, I wish you a fond farewell and now I must take my leave…..

ParticipantAnd for some reason I did not know whether you were pulling our legs with your announcement some weeks ago, Alec. Well so be it, but the doctor must have a damn good reason to pull you out of our shared project, all be it for maybe a limited time. For some reason I advise you to watch out better next time before signing a contract without reading the fine print defining the legal engagement with the unscrupulous scientist we learned some things about. Yet we know far too little about this mythical researcher and I watch out for new stories the new project will yield. I suppose the Doctor knows very well who to call for, for your track record on the subject of sky symbols must be unmatched.
Many thanks for giving the forum a push with your daily production of wit, advise and pictures. I enjoyed your contributions very much.
I will watch out for the moment you reenter da house. In the meantime the grinding will go on elsewhere on this planet. All sorts of fun and luck with your new project!
Like Keelin a picture in blue mood. I am listening now to “Grind of Blue” by Airmiles Davis.

Great title and picture Michael.
Yesterday there was this coloured winter sunset with some mighty cumuli. In order not to accumulate the number of cumuli in my archive 4 coloured species taken shortly after each other. The first two are just slightly enhanced and the last two ‘au naturel’.

ParticipantKind of blue. It wasn’t quite like this when seen with the naked eye. The camera did something, though no intentionally. (Not that it would be wrong.)
There is a little person in one of the blue holes walking or dancing. Can you see it?

ParticipantBeautiful works above!
I see your cloud figure, George, taking a stroll through a skyful of clouds. Something about the posture gives the feeling of wonderment with no worries despite the darkened surroundings. Pareidolia plus personal perception?
And what do you think your lovely iridescent sphinx sees over her shoulder, Hans? Perhaps a friend emerging from the river…

ParticipantYou are right Michael. Crepescular. I had the perspective of a moon opposite to the sun, but the sun is at the left and the ray
sz are diverging. So crepescular. Nevertheless a very fine picture!And a very nice structure in your Arizona Asperitas too!

and speakin of big feat..I had actually forgotten about a whole day’s of photos. I bumped into them while first aide was being administered to my favorite website. Below is first yield.

ParticipantGavin: Thank you so much for fixing the forum before taking off for aurora borealis adventures in Canada. May the Lights be with you and all who are fortunate to be there with you!
Michael: More helpings of Asperitas from you are always something to look forward to. Delighted to hear you found an entirely missed cache!
And Hans: Your hide and seek sun photo is an absolute gem! It would make the most wonderful cover for a children’s storybook. And, if you wrote the story, there’s no doubt it would be both clever and funny.
Here’s one with contrast pushed just for the fun of it.

And wow…., these dreams must be wonderful when they are heralded by these spectacular parallel forms. A great composition!
Next one is also pushed in my first attempt to emphasize the faint sundog down right. Not succeeded imho, but to my surprise it gave a special dreamy atmosphere.

ParticipantI love the feel of this Blowout Michael. It must be coincidence but it shares the same feel of the picture Keelin just posted in the Cloudscape Thread with the title Cloud Island. Coming at number 100 your Blowout must be meant to be the last of this Volume II. It can’t be better.
