The teacher was Alec Jones, probably of Bolton, Lancs – I have asked the Bolton Grammar School (which is now renamed) if he is on their staff. I think we lost Alec because he was simply unable to log on to the old forum, a Network54 problem I suffered from too for some while. His blog from 5 years back seems to have disappeared.
Thank you very much, Laurie. It is interesting he has chosen linearly horizontal clouds in contrast to the sombre linearly vertical trees.
Well I never, Dr NO. You are familiar with the CAS Old Forum
so you will remember the school teacher in Lancashire, UK, who collected contrail pictures. I don’t think it was confined to a single thread. So a text search on ‘contrail’ should throw up some pictures. He also had his own website, may have offered it to the old forum, and some forum photographers e.g. Andrew Kirk also contributed directly to that website. On the old forum contributors could offer their e-mail address if they wished, in their log in data (or whatever), so you might find that.
Lastly the teacher may have been the one to snap the very rare supernumerary rainbow, or was it a higher order bow, and I think we lost him around there (but my memory may be playing tricks).
Good work, George. Much to chew over. I wonder if the article will be updated in light of the new ICA (see first sticky thread in this forum).
I would concur with the importance of correct terminology. So you might be on a winner George, but did not get the right words (and might have to wait ten minutes):

Richard Bergh, Swedish I think, has a painting called ‘Silence’ – it seems to be of a graveyard. But I can not find a good version of it (apart from Pinterest which wants me to sign up), So this is another Berg picture, Honfleur (click open menu at the top)

Not what I was looking for, but…

Akseli Gallen-Kallela – National Gallery, London to 4FEB2018 (I don’t know how many cloud paintings are on show, The Times says there are four of the lake ‘alongside other atmospheric works’).
Lake Keitele: A Vision of Finland
In the link, scroll down to ‘4 Gallery’ to find ‘Sky, 1904, oil’ (which The Times implies is Lake Keitele).

Cloudbow is in the contents list as item 4.
I see a moonbow in today’s auora thread – second picture from BBC Scotland
Some spectacle, Laurence. This one appeared in The Times, UK, 9NOV2017 captioned ‘Glam rocks’
The guy has other aurora pics. Different guy 2014 lots of red
Time again – I missed this in July. It’s linear enough to be a contrail; spiral is good – I thought vortices.
I’m getting time lag here, Roger. Is this the identical picture to the one in USA II ? (It’s the same guy hiding at the top). I think the time it shows me is USA time, anyway. And it’s monochrome? It looks like it is still warm in SC, very complex clouds.

If this works from the old forum, I snapped it over my house. Graham Davis, who defined it as virga, an occasional contributor to the new forum, is a retired UK Met Office professional who knows clouds.
