This one does the rare satisfying the technical needs of whats going as well as providing an esthetically pleasing perspective upside down . So I post it upside down

As soon as I recognized the upper tangent arc time slowed down and I started a methodical take down of what was going on. All the few other upper tangent arcs I’ve seen were rather flat compared to this one so I began looking for a parhelic circle . There was only one sundog (north) and it was brite. Not seeing any makings for a circle something was there that normally isn’t and it came and went in intensity as contrail and cirrus drifted along. I saw the 44(?) before I saw the circumzennie and the Perry arc, which also grew and faded as per the mix of cloud passing thru. Is it possible the mysterious 44 degree halo, in this case was at least 50% parented by man made cloud?
Just had a 1950 ‘s a cappella group rendition of Blue Moon roll thru my ears, Ruth. Thank you..

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

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.
