Here is a photo that shows it all on an almost singular basis. Top half of the shot shows the wind relocating large portions of bent over waves of cloud and resulting updrafts on the canopy’s bottom surface.

The below is already made upside down. The photo has been flipped. I do not recommend viewing this photo rightside up.

I discovered a run of photos that I have no record of processing from Feb.2023. Asperitas are included. So below is the first to be posted.

Thanks and nice sunset Donatella!..Water and clouds are always a match. The line of cloud suggests a front coming through.
The orange spider webs de-evolved in to red fractus over a few minutes.

Hans,Both are loosing in the courts..so far. The day Donlione challenges law enforcement to…”who you got thats gonna arrest me?” or calls for militia to protect him from feds arresting him.. have moved up on the list of probabilities . Musk gonna be the richest man alive behind bars if he doesn’t cut it out now..

btw…I’ll be taking time off from the internet as a remodel project begins early next week. Its not due to anything President Musk might be pulling.. That also explains why Im doubling up on posting…

Yep bring on Olde Sol and start warming up the joint Ruth! The consequences of having two 120f+ summers in a row is becoming stark in the Valley. Dead trees abound and are keeping the tree specialists busy. I’ve noticed..trees in a cluster don’t have dead ones amongst them. Solo trees appear easy victims . The only tree that should be in front of homes and in city parks is cactus like the saguaro, fast growing palo verde and the mesquite…I’ll give the Upper Sonoran Desert that much. Anything else fails and it’s best to have trees in great shape going in cause they will probably be the only ones surviving if we have a 3rd 120f+ summer . So here is a sunset to warm your hands..btw, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, heralding 6 more weeks of winter for those inclined to take advice from a fat and groomed rodent.

I captured the Asperitas wind in the act below. The dark line ,mid right, is a ridge of cloud being bullied by a blast of wind that is pushing around cloud . The wind has removed a good portion of the canopy behind the ridge. look at it upside down if you have to.. The bright highlites spots are where the cloud canopy has been blown away and now light is allowed thru.. The wind turns the canopy in to fractus from the top down. So the bright spots are the top of the canopy and the dark ridges are what is left of the bottom, base, of the canopy…like leftovers on Going Up Day. I can see maybe up to 50% of the cloud has been removed and it didn’t fall as rain…It was sent on its way as fractus…And its my estimation that this shot took place over central Phoenix.. I haven’t seen Asperitas over central Phoenix . Most “weather” that makes it to Phoenix gets torn up by the rising heat columns coming off the city..btw..a section of town ( central area) painted their streets white with a new kind of tar. supposed to reflect the heat instead of storing the heat like regular road tar does..so cooler nights and over the long term..perhaps cooler days as well..Wouldn’t that be wild..cooler section of town draws Asperitas to it..
You’ve already seen a version of this one once. See if you can identify it by seeing an upside down version of it.
