Keelin looks like your crab is about to get ate up. !!..I like the shot, its looks as if it was painted,,the Edges. Just enough greys to keep the black and white behaving themselves. Speakin about greys,,
A Windy Day
Hans ,Magritte is my favorite Surrealist painter. I estimate at least 75% of his paintings have cloud. The original Surrealists encouraged cloud watching because they believed, rightly so imho, the practice was good for developing the imagination . Magrittes classics ” False Mirror ” and ” Grand Family” rely heavily on Clouds as metaphor.
This shot has subtle vertical mist rising through the undulations like our thoughts escaping the mundane.
Hans, nice capture of your rarity. Fortunately my work place is close to the beginnings of increased elevation at the north eastern edge of the valley, so Lennies aren’t rare but most of the time they aren’t spectacular. Most are one cloud bean pods as the pic above illustrates. Yet when they conspire to be spectacular, they are ,as a recent contribution to the gallery demonstrates,,imho anyway. Yes, on the edge of systems or in between seems their popular place yet when monsoon season arrives they can be right next to cumulus. But for predictability..places like Andy Kirk’s Owen’s Valley in California tops out in foreseeable. I always take time to photograph lennies no matter where or when. Haa!,maybe a night shot of a lenny could happen…?
anyway,
Dropping The Veil
Shooting Up Thru The Clouds Exposes The Tumult of Their Passing. Keelin nice capture! And Welcome D Thwaites! Great Title For The Cloud Shot, ” Dream Trees”!
So Allow Me To Turn Everything On Its Head With a Recent Shot Of Lennies , for the heck of it!.
