Asperitas lends itself to the Surreal perhaps because its extra reality is rare..but it begins with..beyond the daily hum drum reality of Asperitas.. The Wind as Sculpturer,the Clouds Its Marble. A lot of upside down views seem to round off the clouds, due to winds creating a lot of veil and fractus? Below is a shot almost straight up perhaps north of me, a blast of local wind aspirates as it plows from left to right .In its wake fractus and arcs ,ahead a just recovering from the last blast

Nice one Ruth! I found the shot I lost. It’s the half way between shots 1109 and 1110. Orange ya glad?

Be sure to look at these upside down. The depth of the subject becomes obvious beginning the understanding of what we’re seeing. The one below was shot late in the day with a cloud roll wind plowing across the top and Charlton Heston’s mustache in “Touch of Evil” photobombing the photo.

Well I certainly hope not Robert. If it did we’d be living in a Orange universe..speaking of Orange Universes..

I like this one more than the one in today’s Gallery Ruth, even tho there is no K-H in this one, the eye movement is explosive. Deciding the pattern for a ceramic tile backsplash in the kitchen is like do you want it to complement the cabinets and countertop or standout against one or the other? Like cabinetry, all the undulatus is oriented in the same direction. How did you get them to do that?

Below a shot taken in Nov 23 that I neglected to post. I make amends now. It’s a shot taken before the really rough winds showed up as evidence in shots at the very top of this thread. Its art deco .

Somewhere I read that the only way meteorologists could duplicate a 44 degree halo was by the light being refracted twice by aligned ice crystals. All the pic above and below show lots of contrail at various states of decomposition at various levels..So there is evidence the faint “rainbow” at about the 44 degree mark had the physics to develop

Went outside to stretch the legs this afternoon, looked up and this is what I saw:

I hung around for awhile and this is what it developed into..a 22 degree halo, a upper tangent arc, a Perry arc, a circumzenith arc and a faint superlateral arc (it touches the Zeenie) starting in the lower left corner..the shot below caught the south part of the superlateral .the third caught the north section..Maybe its a 46 degree or 44 degree halo?
