    I agree. It may be a bit hard to get a good snapshot of Christmas in B&W, however, what better way to have a Christmas than with snow!

    Hans, your interpretation of my image “Golden” appears to be spot on. It looks like you have some of that golden fire for yourself as well.

    Have been meaning to show these to more people. As Keelin had mentioned in an earlier post, the aurora has been quite active recently. I can say that I have gotten my fair share of dazzling light shows. And here are a couple of photos from some of the recent storms we’ve had. I’ve got plenty more where they came from, so let me know if you’d like to see more!

    I personally have always loved the blue hour myself Hans. Both types, that is. Something not so blue here, and not something you see every day, but fascinating, nonetheless. A mini banner cloud of all things, about 20 feet from me.

    Ruth and Michael, both of your photos look phenomenal. I must say storm chasing is an exciting venture, but I’m definitely not nearly equipped enough for the “big stuff”. That’s ok though, I still enjoy my fair share of cool storms. Speaking of which, here’s one from last spring.

    Lovely sky you’ve got there Keelin. I always love a good change in the weather. These photos were quite the abrupt change in the weather. Once again, I happened to take these while storm chasing. And yes, the sky was that blue from all the hail!

    My apologies for posting 3 in the same post, I know that’s not what is usually done, but I just had to share all 3 photos at once.

    Still might be one of my favorite photos ever taken. The clouds, the water, and the light make this the luckiest shot I have ever had the pleasure of taking.

    Hello Jim,

    I can’t say I have a specific reason as to why it looks like a seagull specifically, but I do know this is a cirrus cloud made up of ice crystals that are being blown along by the wind. It just so happens that these ice crystals happen to be oriented in a seagull-like manner. Hope this helps!

    An exceptionally bright circumzenithical arc I spotted the other day. Absolutely gorgeous.

    My dear friends it has been too long since I have posted here. I don’t blame you if you don’t remember me, but I used to be very active on these forums. I believe it is finally time to come back and begin posting again, as I really did forget how beautiful this community is. Anyways, here’s one of my favorite sunsets as of recently. I took it right after storm chasing in the Midwestern U.S.

    I would say that those look like lacunosus or something of the sort due to the appearance of some sort of hole-like pattern within the clouds.

    Regardless great capture!

    Another interesting shot. I think I may post this on the identification help as well. I believe it is a cloud bow, but not in the way that you usually see.

    Hope you enjoy this one!

    Love the moon shots. Sometimes those optical effects are the coolest of all. I especially love watching them on a warm spring night and following the cloud as they drift across the sky.

    Here is a rainbow, from an absolutely stunning sunset. I may have done this during a shift at work. Luckily the boss didn’t see!

    Love the mountains as always Ruth. And Keelin your old paintbrushes seem to have painted the sky marvelously.

    Here is a cloudscape from a few miles from my house. Hope you enjoy!
