Wow! Thank you for sharing this, Bob. Are all the colors natural? So many of the photos look like art work. Very beautiful.
Thanks, Gavin. It is easier to read now, too, as well as easier to log on! However the font used in the actual Forum page is different from the one used in creating comments. It could be darker, and also commas and periods are so small they look alike to me. Maybe my eyes are just too old, or I’m being too picky, but it bothers me when it looks as if I haven’t used correct punctuation.
No trouble logging in (so far), but everything looks so pale it hurts my eyes. Can a little contrast be added? (I know…some good cheese would go with my whine.) BTW, it let me log on using my old user name and password, although “Noctilucy” does not show up with the comment.
Thank you both for the information. We’ve seen halos around the moon many times, but this is the first oval (I suppose elliptical would be a more scientific word) that we had ever seen. Maybe it is a once-in-a-lifetime event. We couldn’t get any good pictures, but the ones in the link that you sent, hygge, were very similar. Thanks.
This is probably what you are remembering, hygge: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/esp_ciencia_tsunami22.htm Some articles state that these clouds can occur up to 60-some days before an earthquake, which makes it seem rather useless as a warning system. Others claim that they can occur just days or hours before a quake.
That is so strange-looking, Mike. I had to look at it for some time to make sense of it because the area with the dark spaces on the left kept appearing to me as if I were looking through a clear icicle.
They are beautiful. In the first picture it looks as if the mountain is wearing what used to be called a “coolie hat,” although that term might be considered offensive today. But those are very practical and (I think) attractive hats for being out in the sun for long periods of time.
Some nice time-lapse vids: http://videowall.accuweather.com/detail/videos/trending-now/video/4539611056001/wow:-colorful-lightning-storm-brews-at-grand-canyon?autoStart=true and: http://videowall.accuweather.com/detail/videos/trending-now/video/4542643436001/timelapse:-clouds-rise-over-northern-presidentials-in-new-hampshire?autoStart=true
Say Mike, if you rotate that last one 90 degrees to the right (assuming that it’s the bottom of the picture that is moving right), you will see a majestic horse on the left.
Some very cool video of a roll cloud over Illinois: http://videowall.accuweather.com/detail/videos/extreme-weather/video/4354298269001/huge-roll-cloud-floats-above-illinois-sky?autoStart=true&page=1
