I love the colors everyone! Hans and Ruth’s most recent photos seem to match in color, don’t they? It’s lovely, I must say. Here is a subtle piece, with just a hint of the sun.
The Sands of Time
Absolutely lovely photos everyone! See if you can spot the rainbow in this one!
Path to the Pot of Golden Sand Dollars
Here is the back end of that dissipating roll cloud. Hope you all are well. Enjoy!
Hauntingly Beautiful
Hello my dear friends! I have big news… I am going to be a college man now! In fact, I will be going up to Michigan to study Meteorology. I am indebted to this place and community for driving my love for clouds and the weather. Anyways, enough about me, here is a roll cloud approaching Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes on Lake Michigan.
Sky Dune
I indeed do not think differently Hans. What an absolutely stunning sky though! Did your winds happen to come from the NW that day? If they did, the mountains in Upstate NY most likely caused this spectacular sight.
I agree with Hans. They look to be a series of virga like entrails. Interesting for sure and a lovely sky to see I bet!
I would say that these are probably altocumulus purely based on the fact that they seem a bit too big for cirrocumulus. Also, cirrocumulus usually doesn’t cover vast swaths of the sky because, as Hans so kindly pointed out, they are a transition cloud.

I like Hans’s idea of a hair in on the sensor, however, unless it is aligned absolutely perfectly with the 22 degree halo, I don’t believe it is. It may be from overprocessing the image, or it could be something that went wrong with your camera, only with this specific image(unless there are indeed more). Lovely capture by the way!

Oh, how it has been a long time since I have posted in this forum. I was almost tempted to wait until someone else posted so that I could post the 100th picture, but I shall instead throw myself upon the sword and leave that honor to someone else.
Bent Falling
Absolutely awesome colors everyone! From the orange tendrils of the cirrus in “French Sunset” to the subtle pinkish glow of #811. I have a bit of an odd image today. It is still a sunset, don’t get me wrong, but it isn’t quite like the others I’ve taken.
An Album Cover?
Since it is coming from a supercell, I would guess that was a wall cloud that you spotted. Did you notice it rotating in any way shape or form? If so, that is most definitely a wall cloud. Excellent capture.

I would not say so due to the fact that they just do not seem to be rounded enough to be lenticularis. I would say they are just a decently thick version of stratocumuls, some of whose shapes have turned into a lens shape. Thanks for sharing!
