Thanks, George.
Just a quick reminder to all CAS folk – Blue Moon is due to occur 31st January 2018.

Hi George!
Thank you very much for your reply and the information contained lovely in the link you provided. Fascinating stuff, to say the least!
Thanks, George, for getting back to me and the additional information you have usefully provided. I will certainly follow up upon the links you kindly provided.
Be assured from me, you are not picky in any way. That CAS members, like you, share information with each other is always to the good.
Thanks again.
Laurence
Thanks kindly, Hans.
May I personally wish you, and all CAS members, a very Happy Christmas and best wishes in every way for the New Year 2018.
To all CAS members – thank you so, so much for all your contributions be they photographs or upon the Forum.
Be good and keep all your comments and photos coming. May I also thanks all at the CAS who run this site for us to enjoy.
Happy Christmas!
Laurence
Thanks kindly, Hygge, for this very interesting set of photos. A wonderful share.
I especially like the first photo – the “ice sugar cube”. When I used to undertake photography, that is, before my eyesight packed up big time, I had a panache for photos like this.
Thanks again.

All hearty congratulations to Gavin, our grand Founder member of the CAS, for getting the accolade, well deserved, in achieving the rightful recognition of this type of cloud, at last, officially recognised.
Well done, Gavin, and all those at the CAS who helped in this milestone being achieved.

I meant to include the following to supplement the above. My apologies for the “goof”!
Here are photos, including nice cloud scenes, from Wales and Scotland, courtesy BBC News.

This is a follow up to your posting.
As regards the “Super Moon” aka, Cold Moon, Oak Moon etc here are some nice photos taken by members of the BBC’s Weather Watchers of the event. Included are some nice cloud pictures.

I feel I must go along with George’s comment – the colouring of the photos seem to be overly enriched.

Thanks kindly, Hygge, for the reply and marvellous photo. Geez! What would I give to see something likes this?!? Ponderous thoughts…Certainly worth dying in a ditch for!
Splendid vista by a long chalk.
Laurence
Thanks for this image sharing, Hygge.
This tree is certainly photogenic. I think of how it might appear in monochrome – my favourite photographic medium portrayal of a scene like this one.

Additional information to my earlier posting.
2018 sees two Blue Moons occurring – 31 January and 31 March. The last time two such Moons occurred was in 1999.

Here are images taken from Google Images of the famous and fabulous Ribbleshead Viaduct. The gaps in the many arches are very apparent. As you remarked previous, the viaduct is under repair, hence, the blanking out / in-filling of the arches whilst repair work undertakes. I can tell you first hand, it is extremely windy there, even on a summer’s hot day – an ideal location for cooling down and admiring the clouds above.
