Love all of the shots my friends! You have no idea what happiness it brings to see your pictures every now and then.
A Sky Full of Clouds
Ruth, it really does remind one of apricots, doesn’t it? Wonderful capture. Michael and Keelin, both of your pink colored sunsets made me hungry for something sweet, so I believe I may go and eats something in a little bit.
Color Galore
Your fish made me laugh Keelin. I made it through 2 times of saying that phrase before getting my tongue-tied. Ruth, I love your piggy with sunglasses, he seems to still need his glasses even though the sun seems it’s close to setting.
This is a picture that brings me great excitement, I believe this is my first horseshoe vortex cloud capture! I got up extra early to watch these clouds and I’m so happy I did.
A Lucky Morning to Go Cloud Spotting
Love all of the shots, everyone! #931 is one of my favorites while Hans, your contrast between sunset in the background and the greyer foreground is just wonderful. Keelin and Ruth’s winter photos both left me feeling a bit chilly, yet mesmerized.
Cold and Cloudy
It seems like you captured quite the variety Ruth! Old and new mixed in with each other. Here’s an interesting image, can you spot the contrails?
Blending in.
Love the oranges in that shot, Ruth. Sadly, I do not come bearing berries. Here’s a series of 3 images(in case you were wondering, I was reading “Five Little Pigs” by Agatha Christie).
Murder Mystery Sunset.
We’ve seemed to capture a lot of oranges as of late. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but I thought I might mix it up a little.
Strawberry Delight
Indeed yours does look like a saw Ruth! It looks a bit deadly if you ask me.
I must say, that’s quite a display!Yeah, I love this section of the forum, it’s nice to help people. Now pertaining to your map, I’d believe some of the moisture coming off of the lake could be rising to form clouds that stay over that lake for a long period of time.
I hope this helps, and thank you for the diagram!

Hmm… I admit that I am stuck. Are there any mountains in the area that could have caused a constant upflow of air? It may also be a specific stretch of land that releases a lot of moisture over a long area that could form a line of clouds like that. Is there a river along where this is?

Interesting Steven, wonderful catch by the way. Did you have a front moving through the area during that time? If so, this seems to be a deck of altocumulus associated with a front passing through.
It does seem to appear as an anti crepuscular ray. It has dark outlines and a relatively straight path down to the ground with the sun setting behind the camera. Nice shot!
Hello Heather! Pertaining to your question, I don’t believe so. You have the right idea, however, a fallstreak hole usually constitutes a clearly defined hole, as well as the fallstreaks themselves. You seem to have captured a beautiful image of two different layers of a denser cirrus down below, and a wispier layer up above. Here is a solid example(not mine) of a fallstreak hole. Hope this helps!

I concur with Don, what could possibly be better than cow fog? As for Michael, for some reason, I really enjoy #707 a lot. I think it may be because of the crisp outlines of the Cumulus. Thank you for sharing everyone!
Sunlit Cloudscapes
I must say, that’s quite a display!
