You know, Michael, Rive is obviously brilliant, and he chooses to make a penny this way, but to my taste it is all a mite too glossy perhaps even contrived. I much prefer the more natural photos we get on this Forum by you and others.
I just wish I could upload the odd snap here – it gets as far as ‘100% complete’, pauses and gives an error message with conditions which are all OK for my image e.g. 1.3mb JPEG.

Well, this was not what I was searching for, Hans, and I have not counted. I was going to suggest that your challenge is for a ground based photo. I was looking for a NASA satellite picture which might exceed 17; there is one of the Irish Sea focussed on Dublin airport I believe.

Max Rive won the International Landscape Photographer of the Year 2017. I have found it difficult to find the photo at any scale, and I think four were submitted anyway. Hopefully you will get one of the four with this link – The Times, UK, 16FEB2018, captioned it ‘This shot of the Gorner Glacier with the Matterhorn behind won Dutchman….’.
Silver Lining to boot.

First, a wonderful sunset shot, HilltopSpotter, thank you.
Next I have no special knowledge of shadows, but some questions come to mind. I would have expected a mountain’s shadow at sunset to be the right way up e.g. triangular at the top – you might argue the right side of your picture shows this. 200 miles is a long way; but at this time of the year the sun would be setting WSW perhaps?
The question arises whether the mountain’s reflection on cloud is indeed inverted; my geometry lets me down at this point. Any thoughts, anyone?
I said a while back, but the post vanished, that to be fair to my Concise OED, although it does not list cloudscape, perhaps in the interest of conciseness, it does list
-scape * comb. form denoting a specified type of scene: moonscape
N.B. the * is a solid square not on my keyboard
I read the entry on the day of the recent super blue blood moon.
P.S. I can not upload pictures for some reason I have yet to fathom (3.3mb was too big for one).
Really enjoying this thread – I am beginning to think silver linings are perhaps relatively common. But only captured by OOPs (Outstanding Observer/Photographers like Hans).
Glad to see from last Sunday’s Cloud that Andrew Pothecary is still around – ‘Poth’ was a moderator on the old CAS Forum.
Arctic Oscillation Chills North America, Warms Arctic Image of the Day.mht
Just a note as a reminder there are other oscillations; this has been stuck on my start up screen for years (I would not know how to put it there).
I have edited it since it no longer gives a link.
Well, you have some really fine pictures there, George. My computer stopped showing videos a year or two ago, but I can see the start of this one and thumb nails of others which would go down well on this forum – but I understand there is only so much time in life and you have to make choices.

The Duchess of Cambridge, Patron, Action on Addiction, this afternoon officially opened the new “Clouds in the Community” treatment centre on Runwell Road, Wickford, EssexThanks, George. Your link mentions volcanoes and the following ugly link is a picture which appeared in the i newspaper (UK). It is the “super blue blood Moon” seen through volcanic ash cloud from the Mayon volcano. It mentions NASA calls the event a “lunar trifecta” – next one in 2037.
