Hans StockerParticipantI think it must be forbidden to enter this thread without having checked Sunsets And Sunrises Volume I. It ended with a Rothko, a Pollock and some serious Grinding.
Suggestions for a severe but righteous punishment of trespassers are welcome.

Great variation again!

Patricia L KeelinParticipantO such wonders! These sunrise/sunset images remind me of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Because the prince lived on such a small planet, he could watch the sunset several times a day simply by walking to a new spot.

Trying to catch up. I woke up to very red skies this morning, thought there is no warning for sailors in the forecast.

George PreoteasaParticipantMichael, that fine striping … I’ve never seen something like that. Very interesting.
-
January 24, 2018 at 2:57 am #255324
Michael LerchParticipantGeorge..Well that makes two of us..Its undulatus at a good distance, thanks to a very good zoom lens, but there are two different sizes of undulations going on. The finer is at a different elevation and doesn’t reflect the rays like the larger ones. I think..that makes the finer ones.. lower. Below is the same group some minutes later, therefore redder and the finer undulations darker. Even at the distance,,i knew the scene wasn’t quite like anything I’d seen before.

-
January 24, 2018 at 11:59 am #255388
George PreoteasaParticipantYour explanation and the second shot. make it clearer that the clouds are two levels. Still, very fine undulatus. Thank you!

Howard Brown
ParticipantAnother silver lining to boot. I was trying to snap some somewhat faint crepuscular rays early afternoon recently and the question came to my mind – are crepusculars more common at either end of the day?
Thanks for the opportunity to ask the question, George.
Keelin, as well as your wonderful photos, you have a wonderful way of expressing my thoughts e.g. about this thread. Many thanks.

February 24, 2018 at 6:38 pm #260426
Patricia L KeelinParticipantThank you, George! So fun to watch the dancing of clouds heralding the dawning of day — a lovely visual celebration.
And thank you, Hygge, for your kind compliments. Having joined the forums a little more than a year ago (thanks to the warm and encouraging welcome from Michael and Hans on the first B&W thread), I cannot now imagine a day without seeing the skies from other’s eyes as we’ve been sharing here.
Hans, Some Reds deliver a warmth that is missing in the image below. It’s been sufficiently ch-ch-chilly here to dictate how I dress in the morning.
Winter Layers-
February 26, 2018 at 2:49 pm #260688
Hans StockerParticipantI love these Winter Layers Keelin. You made it your specialty to produce these beautiful blues. They look ch-ch-chilly but don’t mistake my reds for warmth over here. Some cold from Siberia is dominating the weather. It will last for a week so we can have some skate fun like Bruegel painted.

Hans StockerParticipantI like to explain my former title but I persistently get the message “ERROR: Your topic cannot be created at this”. Anyone knows what this is about? I already asked Ian. I hope he can explain.
I rephrased and rearranged the accompanying text (with which the system seems to have some problems with) to sort out whether it would be so nice to publish it. But the system turns out to be in a bad mood. It didn’t work out well so far. Eventually I succeeded to rephrase the text in a way the system accepted (..?..) and I also had to split the text in different replies. Pfffff. So at last the title is explained.

Hans StockerParticipantFantastic George. That is a hard one to capture. This phenomenon seems to be far more short lived then even a horseshoe vortex….:) Good timing.
I see we are already at post number 100 of this thread. So the sun is going under for this one and will rise again in Volume II (yet to come).
