Participant1) David Bowie
CAS used this picture from the CAS Gallery and captioned it ‘Ziggy says farewell…’ (or similar): https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/?s=ziggy&g=12) Glenn Frey/The Eagles (there is a wide selection in the CAS Gallery):
https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/gallery/photo-04165/3) Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister/Motorhead
The pictures from Mike’s post on the CAS Old Forum no longer work. They included cumulus like dry ice from another group Lordi.
http://www.network54.com/Forum/385606/thread/1234685717If you can post alternative cloud pictures related to the above or other lives, I would be curious.

ModeratorWell, my love of Bowie and of clouds didn’t really intersect. But I thought this cover featured clouds, so a quick Google search (it’s one of the albums I don’t have!) brought up this selection. I thought it looked good repeated in Google:

Not sure why you get the gallery picture not the link, and on testing, the mouse pointer on the picture does not go to the CAS Gallery where I searched ‘Lucy’.

ParticipantRE: George Martin
N.B. I think we may have a bug in the system since the link back to the CAS Gallery does not seem to work – it would have shown that Lucy does work in the sky. The full text follows (I inserted [Mills]):
‘This rare capture of a Vortex was taken at 16,000 feet above Wellington, New Zealand, from the cockpit of the Auckland Life Flight Air Ambulance, where Lucy [Mills] works as a Flight Nurse. In very unstable air, these vortices can be drawn up by a Cumulonimbus updraft and produce tornadoes.’

I am sure there are purples in the CAS Gallery (there are purples in a current slider picture) but I see no search function. So I offer this from NME (there are more if you google ‘purple’):

aka Manuel, ‘I am from Barcelona’ in the Fawlty Towers TV comedy
But you will have to search ‘Barcelona’ in this Forum to get a picture of Barcelona. If you then click on the picture (04914) in the top left line per usual you only get this link (to the Gallery currently starting with the Supermoon over Neath, S. Wales)

He turned up on my local radio recently as I think he may for ever. His baritone voice reminded me of CAS Forum contributor Andrew Kirk http://www.network54.com/Forum/385606/search?searchterm=baritone&sort=match
Andrew is CAS’ man in Owens Valley, Ca (land of the Sierra Wave). These are his earliest and latest entries in the CAS Gallery

OK. A lovely picture of Saturn. But this thread is a random way of showing earthly clouds, so since this came from Laurie I offer a White Sands, NM, photo from Laurence’s link

ParticipantBobbie Gentry (a stage name)
Ode to Billie Joe (q.v.) was on BBC Four two days back. Gentry chose to vanish from the music scene some four decades ago, but here are some ‘Mississippi clouds’ (google it and you get many interesting clouds from other areas too).
EDIT: Well, in fact you only get the interesting clouds…

Well, I searched ‘blueberry’ after his famous ‘Blueberry Hill’. It gave me J Claveau in Art, I know not why; being in Art I noticed this latest one which happened to be within my stamping ground, so… At least it’s fairly blue, though not hilly.

Lorraine Lordi
ParticipantI am very happy to have this new forum. I look forward to taking more pictures and talking with others across the world. Thank you. Lorraine in Asheville, North Carolina, USA. North Carolina’s nickname is “Land of the Sky” because in these mountains, we can see the sky change moment to moment. And we always have clouds!

When I heard this on BBC Radio I thought it was a good excuse for a tribute (although Getz died in 1991 and Tributes are normally for those who passed away more recently):
