    hygge.. Its a B& W from start..It hasn’t transistioned well.Kinda of soft but the original sky was soft as well. A Large reproduction shows less soft tho. The movement still catches my eye.

    hygge…Sure,its all in the physics. Moisture has to be in the atmosphere, which in the desert here, doesn’t always seem to be true. So opposing or counter air currents can be present and yet no waves made .Yes, they would be invisible. I try to see the sky in the desert here as populated by ” blobs” of moisture. There can be two towers of soaring nimbus, seemingly close together, yet only one produces pileaus, as an example. Lenticulars seem to me to travel in groups or areas. etc..A Cloud Mobile,,of undulatus rather than the fluffy cumulus..mite be interesting.

    George..When in doubt, I generally look at the photo or even real life,,upside down. The pockets, waves, holes,undulations etc, that consist of the ” mixed up”, “agitated” “aerated” “stirred” connotations of Asperitus , become easily seen for some reason ( a flat surface from which all diverse, maybe?) when viewed upside down. Actually the upside down view is a good habit for viewing all clouds and Illustration Art as Well..imho.

    Thanks Gentlemen! I took this pic not quite a year ago. I can still remember my thoughts on it,,unique juxtaposition of directions with the undulation on the mid right side,,kind of explaining the physics..Winds in different direction at various altitudes. I still feel this is nature expressing it self..or Natural Expression..that maybe humans are growing away from further and further..Yet I put the shot thru digital processing and edit it to my needs and wants..oh well..Whats Next? i took that pic almost a year ago. So all the pics I’ve taken between then and now are whats next. Thanks Again!

    Maribel..Yes I do have Sunset and Sunrise shots that are so over the top, they look fake. I Live in Phoenix Arizona. They made a Sun set/rise part of the State Flag. So there is a certain amount of pride with our set/rises. And with that comes the outrageous and gaudy,,which I kno from experience to be real, but the colors are just …gaudy. One can dial the saturation dowm during the processing of the pic. Or as I’ve been working on..go with the outrageous. Since the color is beyond the normal parameters,,then why not the perspective or construction of the shot be different? Being creative with the outrageous is what I Suggest. Below is photo of a sunset I took years ago. I tried to do a Rothko version of it.Imho the Sunset is almost gone and the abstraction has become real..CLOUDS!

    hygge,,Thanks! the wind dynamics alone are enough to ponder for a good long time as they create undulations 90 degrees opposed to already created undulations.

    Daniel , I Trust you and yours are well. Monsoon season here in the desert is best time for cloud spotting. But even here weather can be dangerous. Micro-Bursts that can break telephone poles, hail, local flooding and lightning make for serious cloud spotting.

    Hans..Nice echo of undulatus in the middle.Subtle indeed!
